Light-programmable gelatin hydrogels for bidirectional stiffness modulation and phase-specific tissue regeneration.
Biomaterials·August 24, 2026·PMID 42667763
Why it mattersDynamic mechanical cues are critical in tissue morphogenesis, but most hydrogels offer only static or one-way stiffness changes. This light-programmable system enables spatiotemporal control of matrix mechanics, potentially improving regenerative outcomes by matching mechanical signals to healing phases.
