N2 - This study reports the ability of synthetically simple, commercially viable sugar-derived 1,3:2,4-dibenzylidenesorbitol-4’,4“-diacylhydrazide (DBS-CONHNH2) to support cell growth. Simple mixing and orthogonal self-sorting can formulate heparin, agarose, and heparin-binding micelles into these gels—easily incorporating additional function. Interestingly, the components used in the gel formulation, direct the ability of cells to grow, meaning the chemical programming of these multi-component gels is directly translated to the biological systems in contact with them. This simple approach has potential for future developmentin regenerative medicine.
