Crosslinked hyaluronan (HA) hydrogels preloaded with two cytokine growth factors, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and keratinocyte growth factor (KGF), were employed to elicit new microvessel growth in vivo. As a major glycosaminoglycan (GAG) component of extracellular matrix (ECM), HA is an excellent biopolymeric building block for new biomimetic, biocompatible therapeutic materials. HA hydrogel film samples were surgically implanted in the ear pinnae of mice, and the ears were harvested at 7 or 14 days post-implantation. Histologic analysis showed that each of the groups receiving an implant demonstrated significantly more microvessel density than control ears undergoing surgery but receiving no implant (p
