Cell Guidance by 3D-Gradients in Hydrogel Matrices: Importance for Biomedical Applications

Concentration gradients of soluble and matrix-bound guidance cues in the extracellular matrix direct cell growth in native tissues and are of great interest for design of biomedical scaffolds and on implant surfaces. The focus of this review is to demonstrate the importance of gradient guidance for...
