We have developed an efficient and economical method to create precise micron-scaled adhesive patterns on the surface of a hydrogel (Rape et al., Biomaterials 32:2043-2051, 2011). This method will facilitate the research on traction force generation, cellular mechanotransduction, and tissue ...
Polyacrylamide refers to a type of biocompatible polymer derived from acrylamide that is commonly used in hydrogel form for various biomedical applications due to its nonionic nature, stability over a wide pH range, and low toxicity. AI generated definition based on:Engineering of Biomaterials for Dru...
C. The topographic pattern was successfully transferred on the hydrogel with well-defined features. Protein transfer on PAm hydrogel was also demonstrated with fluorescence analysis and the protein was found to be on the hydrogel following the pattern of the hydrophilic strips of the Parylene C mask...
