Table 2 Storage modulus (G’), loss modulus (G”), gel fraction (%) and mass swelling ratio, measured on 5, 10 and 15 w/v% GelMA hydrogel disks (n = 4) except for gel fraction and mass swelling ratio of 15w/v% where n = 3, values depicted are the average ± standard deviation, data for gel fraction and mass swelling ratio of the 5 w/v% hydrogel disks is not available).
From: GelMA as scaffold material for epithelial cells to emulate the small intestinal microenvironment
