Helix versus coil polypeptide macromers: gel networks with decoupled stiffness and permeability

Helix versus coil polypeptide macromers: gel networks with decoupled stiffness and permeability

As a platform for investigating the individual effects of substrate stiffness, permeability, and ligand density on cellular behavior, we developed a set of hydrogels with stiffness tuned by polymer backbone rigidity, independent of cross-link density and concentration. Previous studies report that p...
