- Hydrogels are powerful materials that more accurately mimic the cellular microenvironment over static two-dimensional culture. Photochemical strategies enable dynamic complexity to be achieved within hydrogels to better mimic the extracellular matrix; however, many photochemical systems to pattern proteins within hydrogels are complicated by long reaction times to immobilize these proteins wherein the protein can lose activity. As proof-of-concept, we demonstrate an elegant method where photocaged proteins are immobilized in hydrogels and then directly photoactivated. Specifically, we immobilized streptavidin-ortho-nitrobenzyl-modified epidermal growth factor (EGF) to cross-linked hyaluronan hydrogels and cultured two EGF-responsive cancer cells of breast and lung therein.
