Photo-induced viscoelasticity in cytocompatible hydrogel substrates
Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) sense and respond to the bulk elastic and viscoelastic properties of their microenvironment, as well as the spatial distribution of these mechanical signals. Hydrogel substrates with photo-controlled mechanical properties can allow one to probe the cellular respo...
