However, insufficient and uncontrollable mechanical and degradation properties remain the major obstacles for its application in medical bone regeneration material. Herein, we develop a facile but efficient strategy for a novel hydrogel as guided bone regeneration (GBR) material. In this study, methacrylic anhydride (MA) has been used to modify gelatin to obtain photo-crosslinkable methacrylated gelatin (GelMA). Moreover, the GelMA\/PEGDA hydrogel was prepared by photo-crosslinking GelMA and PEGDA with photoinitiator I2959 under UV treatment. Compared with the GelMA hydrogel, the GelMA\/PEGDA hydrogel exhibits several times stronger mechanical properties than pure GelMA hydrogel. The GelMA\/PEGDA hydrogel shows a suitable degradation rate of more than 4 weeks, which is beneficial to implant in body. In vitro cell culture showed that osteoblast can adhere and proliferate on the surface of the hydrogel, indicating that the GelMA\/PEGDA hydrogel had good cell viability and biocompatibility. Furthermore, by changing the quantities of GelMA, I2959, and PEGDA, the gelation time can be controlled easily to meet the requirement of its applications. In short, this study demonstrated that PEGDA enhanced the performance and extended the applications of GelMA hydrogels, turning the GelMA\/PEGDA hydrogel into an excellent GBR material.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma11081345","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,3]],"date-time":"2018-08-03T11:03:26Z","timestamp":1533294206000},"page":"1345","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":216,"title":["Development of a Photo-Crosslinking, Biodegradable GelMA\/PEGDA Hydrogel for Guided Bone Regeneration Materials"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Yihu","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Photochemical Conversion and Optoelectronic Materials, Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"},{"name":"School of Chemical Sciences, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"},{"name":"Hangzhou Branch of Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hangzhou 310018, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ming","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Photochemical Conversion and Optoelectronic Materials, Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jianing","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Photochemical Conversion and Optoelectronic Materials, Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"},{"name":"School of Chemical Sciences, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Weijie","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Photochemical Conversion and Optoelectronic Materials, Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Weipeng","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Photochemical Conversion and Optoelectronic Materials, Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"},{"name":"Hangzhou Branch of Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hangzhou 310018, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yunhua","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Photochemical Conversion and Optoelectronic Materials, Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bing","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Photochemical Conversion and Optoelectronic Materials, Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yanchuan","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Photochemical Conversion and Optoelectronic Materials, Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"},{"name":"School of Chemical Sciences, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"},{"name":"Hangzhou Branch of Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hangzhou 310018, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"254","DOI":"10.1016\/j.biomaterials.2015.08.045","article-title":"Synthesis, properties, and biomedical applications of gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogels","volume":"73","author":"Yue","year":"2015","journal-title":"Biomaterials"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"125","DOI":"10.1016\/j.biomaterials.2017.06.039","article-title":"Decoupling the effects of stiffness and fiber density on cellular behaviors via an interpenetrating network of gelatin-methacrylate and collagen","volume":"141","author":"Berger","year":"2017","journal-title":"Biomaterials"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"75988","DOI":"10.1039\/C6RA14359H","article-title":"Biomimetic polysaccharide\/bioactive glass nanoparticles multilayer membranes for guided tissue regeneration","volume":"6","author":"Rodrigues","year":"2016","journal-title":"RSC Adv."},{"key":"ref_4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Lee, B.H., Lum, N., Seow, L.Y., Lim, P.Q., and Tan, L.P.
