FIG. 4.

(A) Schematic of 3D system. Fibroblasts and microrods encapsulated within Matrigel. (B) 3D Reconstruction of fibroblasts and PEGDMA microrods in Matrigel. (C) Microrods in different z-planes within the gel. (D, E) Fibroblasts attach and link PEGDMA microrods (50 kPa) in 3D cultures. F-actin (Alexa fluor 488), cell nuclei (Hoechst). Dashed lines indicate microrods. Arrows indicate cells attaching to microrods. Scale bars: 100 μm. 3D, three-dimensional. Color images available online at www.liebertonline.com/ten.
