Cell-Laden Agarose-Collagen Composite Hydrogels for Mechanotransduction Studies

Cell-Laden Agarose-Collagen Composite Hydrogels for Mechanotransduction Studies

The increasing investigation of cellular mechanotransduction mechanisms requires biomaterials combining biofunctionality and suitable mechanical properties. Agarose is a standard biomaterial for cartilage and intervertebral disc mechanobiology studies, but lacks adhesion motifs and the necessary cel...
