Original Abstract Submitted
The present invention relates to a method for modifying and cross-linking an anticoagulating hydrogel nanofilm for cell encapsulation. According to the present invention, the protection from the external environment and the control of material transfer can be improved due to the anticoagulant functionalization of the material surface. In addition, when applied into the body, it can prevent fibrosis, blood coagulation, protein adsorption, and platelet adhesion caused by immune responses, thereby preventing a decrease in cell viability caused by immune responses and improving cell survival rate.
