Abstract: Provided herein are biocompatible hydrogel polymers capable of gelling in vivo comprising a therapeutic agent such as a protein or other biomolecule and kits comprising at least one nucleophilic compound or monomer unit, at least one electrophilic compound or monomer unit, and at least one therapeutic agent. The biocompatible hydrogel polymer is bioabsorbable and releases the therapeutic agent at a target site, avoiding systemic exposure and achieving a controlled delivery.

Abstract: Provided herein are biocompatible hydrogel polymer matrices, which are prepared from biocompatible pre-formulations. The biocompatible pre-formulations comprise at least one nucleophilic compound, at least one electrophilic compound, and at least one cell. The biocompatible hydrogel polymer matrix is bioabsorbable and releases the cell at a target site, achieving a controlled delivery. The biocompatible hydrogel polymer matrix provides a solid support conducive for cell viability and functionality. The cells may grow on the hydrogel polymer surface of inside the hydrogel polymer matrix.
