a Schematic illustrating the fabrication of GA hydrogel. b Gelation test of GA in DPBS buffer. c Biocompatibility of GA hydrogel (experiments were conducted in 96-well plate, total volume of each well = 150 μL, gel volume = 30 μL, n = 6 wells per group). d SEM image of 6 mM GA hydrogel. e Strain-sweep test of 6 mM GA hydrogel with a fixed frequency of 10 rad s−1. f Step-strain test of 6 mM hydrogel (10 rad s−1). g Frequency-sweep test of 6 mM hydrogel (0.1% strain). h Time-sweep test of 6 mM hydrogel (0.1% strain and 10 rad s−1). Data are mean ± SD, P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant, and P-values are indicated on the graphs, one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test for (c). The schematic diagram in (a) was created with BioRender.com.
