The invention features synthetic biomaterials and methods for their formation having incorporated bioactive factors whereby the bioactive factor is covalently bound to the biomaterial by an enzymatically degradable linkage. These biomaterials may be used for localized delivery of pharmaceutically active ingredients, the bioactive factors, for tissue repair and regeneration and in particular for regeneration of soft and hard tissue, such as skin, bone, tendons and cartilage.
