Results:The mechanical stability and durability to degradation of HA-DVS gels are superior to those of other gels, and when HA:DVS = 40:1(g/g), at 35℃ and in 0.2 M NaOH solution, the HA-DVS gel shows the best mechanical stability, and its cytotoxicity reaches class I, hemolysis ratio is lower than 5%. Conclusion:Our HA-DVS gel can be used to prepare biologic scaffolds.展开更多
