Digital Plasmonic Patterning for Localized Tuning of Hydrogel Stiffness

The mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM) can dictate cell fate in biological systems. In tissue engineering, varying the stiffness of hydrogels—water‐swollen polymeric networks that act as ECM substrates—has previously been demonstrated to control cell migration, proliferation, an...
