is a function of the indenter geometry (see Methods,supplement and Fig. S1)28. Two different probes were used: one was a blunted conical silicon tip of 7–10 nm radius (designated as the “sharp tip”,Fig. S2aleft, upper inset); and the other was a tip modified by rigidly attachin...
Furthermore, by stitching the living voxels together, a cytoarchitecture of any size, shape and constituency can be formed and embedded in a microfluidic device for testing. In these constructs, the hydrogel scaffold performs a function similar to the natural ECM, but it is synthetic, sterile ...
