  • Are viscoelastic polyacrylamide gels suitable for cell culture?
  • Polyacrylamide gels are purely elastic and well adapted to cell culture as they are inert and can be conjugated with adhesion proteins. Here, we report a method to make viscoelastic polyacrylamide gels with mech. properties more closely resembling biol. tissues and suitable for cell culture in vitro.
  • What is a linearly elastic polyacrylamide hydrogel and polydimethylsiloxane elastomer?
  • Linearly elastic polyacrylamide hydrogels and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomers coated with ECM proteins are widely used to assess the role of stiffness, and results from such expts. are often assumed to reproduce the effect of the mech. environment experienced by cells in vivo.
  • What is the swelling ratio of acrylamide to bis-acrylamide?
  • Figure 2 A also displays different swelling ratios for different acrylamide to bis-acrylamide concentrations. The swelling ratio at the saturation point of the soft gel was found to be ∼900% while the intermediate and stiff gels exhibited a swelling ratio at saturation of ∼675% and ∼350%, respectively.
  • Does 2D viscoelastic Paa substrate have cellular responses?
  • Because the cellular response on 2D viscoelastic PAA substrates remains largely unknown, we used stereolithography (SLA)-based additive manufacturing technique to create viscoelastic PAA substrates with tunable mechanical properties that allow us to identify physiologically relevant cellular behaviors.
