Directing Cell Fate via Spatiotemporally Patterned Viscoelasticity Driven by Dynamic Crosslink Exchange

Yuran Wang, Albert C Liu, Ping Zhou…·Christopher M Madl

This paper develops a phototunable hydrogel system that modulates viscoelasticity to direct cell fate transitions in 2D and 3D contexts.

Tissue-like Viscoelasticity Drives Muscle Stem Cell Expansion Through Mechanical Memory Formation

Haiying Hu, Tae Yoon Kwon, Zichen Gao…·Christopher M Madl

This study shows that tissue-like viscoelastic substrates enhance muscle stem cell expansion by creating mechanical memory through focal adhesion stabilization and Rac-Akt signaling.
