Degradation-Dependent Stress Relaxing Semi-Interpenetrating Networks of Hydroxyethyl Cellulose in Gelatin-PEG Hydrogel with Good Mechanical Stability and Reversibility

The mechanical milieu of the extracellular matrix (ECM) plays a key role in modulating the cellular responses. The native ECM exhibits viscoelasticity with stress relaxation behavior. Here, we reported the preparation of degradation-mediated stress relaxing semi-interpenetrating (semi-IPN) polymeric...
