Hyaluronic acid methacryloyl (MW 50000)
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Hyaluronic acid methacryloyl (HAMA) (MW 50000) is a methacrylate-modified hyaluronic acid that serves as a hydrogel former, hydrolysis-resistant material, photocrosslinkable hydrogel scaffold, and drug delivery carrier for tissue engineering. Hyaluronic acid methacryloyl (MW 50000) forms hydrogels via photocrosslinking; when combined with AuMA NPs through a one-step photocrosslinking method, its effective swelling ratio increases, and the mechanical reinforcement effect of Au NPs compensates for the impact caused by reduced crosslinking density. Hyaluronic acid methacryloyl (MW 50000) can be combined with AuMA NPs via a one-step photocrosslinking method, enabling non-invasive monitoring of hydrogel degradation with contrast-enhanced micro-CT.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Hyaluronic acid methacryloyl (MW 50000) (5% w/v; 24 h-4 weeks) hydrogels prepared with 10 mM AuMA NPs via one-step photocrosslinking exhibit an increased effective swelling ratio compared to HAMA alone, but maintain comparable compressive modulus and hydrolytic stability over 4 weeks in vitro[1].

3D Hydrogel Synthetic Scaffold Culture
3D hydrogel synthetic scaffold culture embeds cells, spheroids, organoids, or tissue fragments inside a hydrated crosslinked polymer network so that cells receive matrix and cell-cell cues in three dimensions rather than from a flat plastic surface. A literature-supported model protocol is PEG-4MAL hydrogel culture, in which four-arm maleimide-terminated PEG is functionalized with cysteine-containing adhesive peptides such as RGD and crosslinked with protease-degradable peptides such as GPQ-W; this creates a defined, modular scaffold that supports human organoid generation and culture. The readouts are scaffold-supported growth, morphology, lumen formation, budding, viability, proliferation, lineage-marker expression, and matrix-dependent expansion or differentiation; reported assays include transmitted-light imaging, immunofluorescence, in situ hybridization, qRT-PCR, and rheological characterization.
