ABSTRACT
We developed a new strategy for the functionalization of hyaluronic acid by chemical modification of its C-6 hydroxyl groups through an ether bond to obtain a cysteine-hyaluronic acid conjugate. This conjugate is suitable to prepare injectable and in situ formed hydrogels cross-linked by native chemical ligation and Michael addition under mild conditions.
