Stress-strain curve of tissue-engineered scaffolds used for seeding chondrocytes. We are designing biomaterials with controlled material properties so as to enable studies of mechanotransduction in chondrocytes during physiological loading.
Chemical structure of polyacrylamide covalently bonded to a self-assembled monolayer of trimethoxysilylpropyl acrylate (click here for source). This is an example of a technique used to control the zeta potential in microfluidic substrates as well as surface adhesion of cells.
