| abstract |
The present invention is directed to copolypeptide hydrogels (DCH) containing non-ionic hydrophilic residues (DCH EO ), incorporation of thermoresponsive elements into DCH EO , to generate thermoresponsive DCH (DCH T ), and hydrogels that include a combination of DCH EO and DCH T . The invention includes preparation, uses, compositions containing the hydrogels and methods of tuning the hydrogels. The hydrogels can be used to deliver an agent or cells to an organism. |
