Figure 1

Schematic describing the fabrication steps for molding polyacrylamide (PA) hydrogels of prescribed stiffness against photolithographically fabricated masters of defined topography. The device is designed such that an epithelial colony of MCF10A cells can be seeded in the center well and allowed to grow into peripheral PA-channels of defined stiffness and confinement.
