Abstract | We report the engineering of a protein-based dynamic hydrogel that can be reversibly tuned between stiff and soft states via a redox reaction. When cultured on this hydrogel surface, human lung fibroblasts can dynamically and reversibly change their morphology in response to changes in hydrogel stiffness. |
