Reconciling Granular Hydrogel Microstructure and Mechanics via a Temporary Thermo-Responsive and Cell-Invadable Matrix.
Granular hydrogels are biomaterials composed of densely packed microparticles forming microporous structures. Their architecture can be controlled by tuning microparticle size, shape, and packing density. However, the mechanical properties of granular hydrogels mainly depend on interparticle interactions, whereby incre...
