  • What are D NA-crosslinked polyacrylamide hydrogels?
  • D NA-crosslinked polyacrylamide hydrogels (DNA gels) are tunable hydrogels developed by our group to mimic the mechanical properties of the dynamic in vivo microenvironment. 1 – 6 It has been shown that mechanical properties are altered as a function of time via the addition of DNA oligomers.
  • What is a viscoelastic polyacrylamide gel?
  • Viscoelastic polyacrylamide gels consist of an acrylamide and bis-acrylamide network polymerized in the presence of linear polyacrylamide chains that are incorporated into the network, which determine its viscous properties. Our method allows for the covalent binding of proteins to the polyacrylamide network, linear polyacrylamide, or both.
  • Does a difunctional cross-linker modulate the elastic modulus of acrylamide hydrogel composites?
  • In Alg/PAAm, the mechanical properties of the Alg/PAAm hydrogel composite was enhanced by physical cross-links between amine groups on PAAm chains and carboxyl groups on Alg chains. (47) With this system, we hypothesized that the molecular changes in the difunctional cross-linker modulate the elastic modulus of acrylamide hydrogel composites.
  • Can linear polyacrylamide chains be selectively activated after polymerization?
  • Linear polyacrylamide chains of the viscoelastic gel cannot be selectively activated after polymerization of the crosslinked network. After incubation with the protein, rinse the gels 3 times with 100 µl PBS and store in PBS at 4°C until cell seeding, but not longer than a couple of days.
