A novel injectable sericin hydrogel with strong fluorescence for tracing

Hydrogel systems with strong fluorescence, as convenient tracers or bio-probes, have attracted much attention in biomedical engineering. Currently, most hydrogels endowed fluorescent properties due to modifying additional fluorophores. However, these fluorophores owing to photobleaching and toxicity limit the practical applications of hydrogels. Herein, we prepared a novel self-luminescence hydrogel through double crosslinking glutaraldehyde and hydrogen peroxide/horseradish peroxidase (H
