Polysaccharides
Many cell surface proteins are
glycosylated
Affects protein function
Influence recognition by other proteins/cells
Polysaccharides
ECM often is rich in polysaccharides
Sulfated/charged polysaccharides interact
with water which provides beneficial
mechanical properties
Provides compressive strength of collagen

Degradable Materials
Polylactide, polyglycolide, etc. are
hydrolytically degradable
Copolymers of varying monomer ratios
degrade at different rates
Hydrogels
Materials that are composed of hydrophilic, crosslinked polymer chains
Have extremely high water content (often >90%)
Physicochemical properties can be tailored
Protein Sequences
100% Collagenase activity
