Relative Stiffness Measurements of Cell-embedded Hydrogels by Shear Rheology in vitro
Hydrogel systems composed of purified extracellular matrix (ECM) components (such as collagen, fibrin, Matrigel, and methylcellulose) are a mainstay of cell and molecular biology research.They are used extensively in many applications including tissue regeneration platforms, studying organ development, and pathological disease models such as cancer
