Ultra-soft PDMS-based magnetoactive elastomers as dynamic cell culture substrata.

Mechanical cues such as extracellular matrix stiffness and movement have a major impact on cell differentiation and function. To replicate these biological features in vitro, soft substrata with tunable elasticity and the possibility for controlled surface translocation are desirable. Here we report...
