Mechanical characterization of LivMA hydrogels derived from protocol I and protocol II. (A) Box plot (10th–90th percentile) showing the compressive moduli of hydrogels from protocol I and II at 0.5% (w/v) LivMA and 0.75% (w/v) LivMA with different crosslinking times—1 min, 2 min, 4 min (n = 6, line at median). (B) Box plot (10th–90th percentile) of the effective swelling (%) of hydrogels calculated by weighing the hydrogels before and after swelling in PBS overnight at 37 °C (n = 6, line at median).
