Abstract
The present invention relates to hydrogel or scaffold compositions and methods of use for cell growth and/or regenerative medicine. The hydrogel comprises a water soluble cellulose compound and, in certain aspects, a fibrous or filamentous matrix. The hydrogels as described provide a support or scaffold that promotes, facilitates, and/or enhances progenitor or stem cell growth and/or differentiation. In addition, the hydrogel is useful for tissue, e.g., cartilage, regeneration and repair.
