Several critical aspects of cross-linked polyanhydrides made using thiol-ene polymerization are reported, in particular the erosion, release, and solution properties, along with their cytotoxicity toward fibroblast cells. The monomers used to synthesize these polyanhydrides were 4-pentenoic anhydride and pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-mercaptopropionate).

We have developed biocompatible scaffolds that enable cell fate control with visible light. The scaffolds are based on synthetic collagen-like polypeptide, poly(prolyl-hydroxyprolyl-glycyl) {poly(Pro-Hyp-Gly)} which has been used for cosmetics and other healthcare applications. Bioactive peptides were conjugated to the scaffolds
