Abstract
We propose a method of creation of a 3D matrix consisting of native collagen fibers and natural polysaccharide chitosan. The collagen-chitosan hydrogels maintain viability and prolipherative activity of embryonic stem cells obtained from internal cells of mouse blastocyst. The proposed system forming hydrogels in situ can be used in cell therapy for immobilization and targeted delivery of stem cells.
