Abstract
Step-growth, radically mediated thiol-norbornene photopolymerization is used to create versatile, stimuli-responsive poly(ethylene glycol)-co-peptide hydrogels The reaction is cytocompatible and allows for the encapsulation of human mesenchymal stem cells with a viability greater than 95%. Cellular spreading is dictated via three-dimensional biochemical photopatterning.
