Gelatin methacrylate-alginate hydrogel with tunable viscoelastic properties

Gelatin methacrylate-alginate hydrogel with tunable viscoelastic properties

Although native extracellular matrix (ECM) is viscoelastic, synthetic biomaterials used in biomedical engineering to mimic ECM typically exhibit a purely elastic response when an external strain is applied. In an effort to truly understand how living cells interact with surrounding ECM matrix, new b...
