(A) Characterization of the rheological properties of the 8:2 and 9:1 gels. (B) Quantitative analyses of the gelation time for the 8:2 gel and 9:1 gels (C) Representative bioluminescence image after the transplant of Cy5.5-labeled 8:2 gel or 9:1 gel and (D) quantitative analyses of the gel degradation rate. Results are the mean ± standard deviation (SD); ^*p < 0.05 and ^**p < 0.01. Unpaired two-tailed Student’s t-tests. (E) Quantitative analyses of the cell viability in each hydrogel. Results are the mean ± SEM; n.s. is not significant. one-way ANOVA with Tukey post-hoc test. (F, G) Immunofluorescence analysis of GFP-labeled NSCs in (F) the 8:2 and (G) the 9:1 gel
