Figure Lengend Snippet: Functional performance and biocompatibility evaluation of hydrogels. (A) Photographs of MRSA and E.coil colonies, and (B, C) corresponding quantitative calculation of antibacterial rates after treatments of different hydrogels. (D) Representative scratch assay images of L929 cells treated with different hydrogels and (E) corresponding quantitative analysis of cell migration rates based on scratch area. ELISA was performed to assess the expression of CD31 (F) and VEGF (G) in HUVEC cells following treatment with various hydrogels. (H) Photographs of hemolysis assays and (I) statistically analyzed hemolysis rates. (J) Cytocompatibility of hydrogels and in vivo hematological parameters, including (K)white blood cell (WBC) count -, (L)red blood cell (RBC) count , and (M)platelet count. n = 3, ∗P < 0.05, ∗∗P < 0.01 and ∗∗∗P < 0.001.
