Fig. 5: Versatility of the C-SL-G organohydrogels.
Cell viability of ATDC5 cells (a) and C3H10T1-2 cells (b) cultured on the C-G hydrogel, C-G-EG, and C-SL-G organohydrogels for 24 and 48 h. Data in a and b represent their means ± SDs from n = 3 independent samples. c Confocal fluorescence microscopy images of NIH3T3 cells cultured on C-SL1−0.01-G organohydrogel immersion solution for 48 h. Scale bar, 100 μm. Grafting and staining images of C-G-EG (d) and C-SL1-0.01-G organohydrogel (e) subcutaneously implanted in mice for 14 and 28 days after implantation. Inflammatory response to the implants was assessed by HE staining. f Ionic conductivity of C-SL1-0.01-G organohydrogel at different temperatures. Center line = median; box limits = upper and lower quartiles; whiskers = 1.5× interquartile range (n = 3). g Photographs of C-SL1-0.01-G organohydrogel connected into loops by bending, pressing, and at −20 °C. Relative resistance changes of C-SL1-0.01-G organohydrogel under repetitive strain loading for fingers were flexed to different degrees (h) elbow joints were flexed back and forth at different temperatures (i) and fingers were flexed back and forth at a certain angle after being left for a week (j).
