Reduced graphene oxide impregnated gelma hydrogel promotes angiogenic activity in chick embryo model by Rehman, Syed Raza ur

“…Gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) based hydrogels display excellent hydrophilic properties due to the presence of hydrophilic amido, amino, carboxyl and hydroxyl groups in the polymer chains, which gives them highly porous, soft and flexible structure. In the current work, we have developed a reduced graphene oxide incorporated GelMA hydrogel dressing to improve wound healing by increasing proliferation and migration of cells as well as promoting formation of new blood vessels for increased supply of nutrients, oxygen and growth factors to wound area.…”
