Collagen hydrogels act as a biologically compatible three dimensional structure, similar to that of native tissue, which facilitates the development of engineered tissue. Collagen, the main component of these gels, is an extracellular matrix protein found in connective tissue. And is used to fabricate hydrogels which, are 3D polymer networks com...
