Abstract
The mechanical properties of microbial transglutaminase (mTGase) crosslinked gelatin and the effect of mTGase and mTGase crosslinked gelatin on the cell growth were investigated. In the study, 3T3 fibroblasts were grown in DMEM and were treated with mTGase at different concentrations. The gelatin treated with mTGase showed improved gel strength after 24 hours in rheological and compression testing. The crosslinked gels with improved mechanical strength support cell growth, which may be applied in soft tissue repair.
