Spatiotemporal patterning of photoresponsive DNA-based hydrogels to tune local cell responses

Spatiotemporal patterning of hydrogel matrices has been used to control cell behavior. Here the authors present photoresponsive DNA-based hydrogels and demonstrate patterning of physical and biochemical properties to tune local cell responses.
