Bioorthogonal hydrogels by thiol–halide click crosslinking with fast gelation time and tunable stability in aqueous media

Abstract

Thiol-halide click reaction is utilized in polymer crosslinking to form hydrogels with a tailored rate of disintegration suitable. The crosslinking process is bioorthogonal, which allows for encapsulation of living cells for three-dimensional cell culture study.
