    Abstract: Tissue engineering constructs and the method of making the constructs are provided. The constructs distinguish a scaffold with a surface and a treated surface area for increased surface area. A hydrophilic hydrogel network is physically cross-linked via charged polymers and salt-ions onto the treated surface area. Biologies is trapped and thereby hosted within the physically cross-linked hydrogel network. Covalently reactive macromonomers are chemically cross-linked within the physically cross-linked hydrophilic hydrogel network to strengthen the physically cross-linked hydrophilic hydrogel network itself and to the scaffold. The constructs enable delivery of therapeutics including cells and/or biomolecules along with a structural support and a defined geometry for applications in regenerative medicine.
