Hydrogels With Tunable Mechanical Properties Based on Photocleavable Proteins

Hydrogels With Tunable Mechanical Properties Based on Photocleavable Proteins

Hydrogels with photo-responsive mechanical properties have found broad biomedical applications, including delivering bioactive molecules, cell culture, biosensing, and tissue engineering. Here, using a photocleavable protein, PhoCl, as the crosslinker we engineer two types of poly(ethylene glycol) h...
