Myofibroblasts have been implicated in scar tissue formation around biomaterials. When biomaterials are implanted as part of a tissue engineered construct, as a sensor, as a prosthetic or even as a drug delivery device, scar formation fibrosis around the biomaterial often interferes with the intended function...

Hydrogels are good candidates for use as biomaterials, with general characteristics that make them amenable to the internal biological environment...
