Bifunctional Hydrogels Containing the Laminin Motif IKVAV Promote Neurogenesis

Summary: Engineering of biomaterials with specific biological properties has gained momentum as a means to control stem cell behavior. Here, we address the effect of bifunctionalized hydrogels comprising polylysine (PL) and a 19-mer peptide containing the laminin motif IKVAV (IKVAV) on embryonic and...
