322 Chapter 13 different cell types are under investigation. Besides, physical features of hydrogels such as matrix stiffness and viscoelasticity are under investigation now. In conclusion, the results of this research showed that human adipose tissue-derived ECM hydrogels are not cytotoxic and support adhesion and (in)growth of human immortalized ASCs. These results are promising and warranted further research about implementation of adipose tissue-derived hydrogels as e.g. a delivery vehicle of cell types or bioengineering printing bio-ink.
