Hydrogels as models of the bone matrix. Hydrogels are unique model systems that can be used to determine interactions between cells and the bone matrix. This image shows cellular comparisons between 2D and 3D hydrogels. Cells are cultured atop a 2D hydrogel coated with a matrix, such as collagen, whereas cells are embedded in 3D hydrogels.
