A Modular Microfluidic System to Generate Gradient Hydrogels with Simple-to-Complex Stiffness Profiles for Mechanobiology

2025-05-28

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Engineered stiffness gradient hydrogels offer exciting opportunities to probe fundamental mechanobiological processes in vitro . However, the need to spatially manipulate the properties of soft hydrogels at the micron scale poses challenges in developing fabrication platforms that can reliably modulate the gradient gel characteristics according to user needs. This study describes a modular appr...
