The in vitro potential of a synthetic matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-responsive poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG)-based hydrogel as a bioactive co-encapsulation system for vascular cells and a small bioactive peptide, thymosin beta4 (Tbeta4), was examined.

Synthetic hydrogels based on poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) have been used as biomaterials for cell biology and tissue engineering investigations.
We used the step-growth polymerization of PEG diacrylate (PEGDA, 3400Da) with bis-cysteine matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-sensitive peptides via Michael-type addition to form biodegradable photoactive macromers of the form acrylate-PEG-(peptide-PEG)(m)-acrylate.
