Delivery of growth factors is an indispensable part of tissue engineering. Here, we describe a detachable membrane-based release system composed of extracellular matrix components that can be attached to hydrogels to achieve directional release of bioactive molecules. This way, the release of cytokines/growth factors can be started at a desired point of tissue maturation or directly in vivo. As a model, we develop thin films of an interpenetrating network of double-cross-linked gelatin and hyalu ...[more]
