Poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (MW 1500)
Poly (ethylene glycol) diacrylate (MW 1500) (PEGDA (MW 1500)) is a polyethylene glycol-based diacrylate macromonomer and permselective reagent. Poly (ethylene glycol) diacrylate (MW 1500) enables rapid fabrication of artificial hydrogels via photopolymerization or free radical-induced crosslinking. Poly (ethylene glycol) diacrylate (MW 1500) is used in research related to drug delivery, tissue engineering, and antifouling coatings.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Poly (ethylene glycol) diacrylate (MW 1500) can form cross-linked hydrogel films via interfacial photopolymerization, construct hydrogel networks through photo-initiated free radical polymerization, and also copolymerize with PEGMA to form hydrogel scaffolds[1][2].

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.
