- Additional information
- Highlighted by an editorial (“research update”) at Physics World, this work addresses the challenge of dynamically tailoring mechanical properties of medical devices to patient tissues for cellular function. Its key findings, and figure, demonstrating how to switch the mechanical properties of scaffold materials on demand, were reproduced by an independent world-leading group in an Advanced Materials progress report on the state of the art of photoresponsive hydrogels (doi:10.1002/adma.201807333).
