Cellular responses to beating hydrogels to investigate mechanotransduction

Mechanotransduction of cells is of interest for a number of reasons but model in vitro systems remain a challenge. Here, the authors report on a hydrogel which changes properties upon near infrared irradiation to create cyclic forces and demonstrate the application of these gels to study mechanotran...
