GYIGSRG (NH2-Gly-Tyr-Ile- Gly-Ser-Arg-Gly-COOH, GG) has been conjugated to sodium alginate (ALG) to synthesize a biological active biomaterial ALG-GG. The product was characterized by IH NMR, FT-IR and elemental analysis. A series of CaCO3/ALG-GG composite hydrogels were prepared by crosslinking ALG-GG with D-glucono-8-1actone/calcium carbonate (GDL/CaCO3) in different molar ratios. The mechanical strength and swelling ratio of the composite hydrogels were studied. The results revealed that both of them can be regulated under different preparation conditions.

The results demonstrated that ALG-GG composited hydrogel can induce angiogenesis significantly compared with non-modified ALG group, and it may be valuable in the development of thick tissue engineering scaffold.展开更多
