Abstract
The present invention relates to a new method for treating or processing a cross-linked hyaluronan hydrogel prior to its use in applications involving three-dimensional cell culture. The invention also relates to cross-linked hyaluronan hydrogels prepared by such a method and to their use in 3D cell culture, stem cell/tissue engineering, drug discovery, toxicology testing, and broad cell biology applications.
