Dynamic FAK phosphorylation is dependent on hydrogel stiffness after encapsulation. (A) Fluorescence lifetime images showed hMSCs exhibited stiffness-dependent FAK phosphorylation. Scale bar 20 μm. (B) Quantitative analysis showed hMSCs increased FAK phosphorylation as the hydrogel stiffness increased (26 ≤ n ≤ 50). (C) Quantitative analysis showed a significant difference in FAKSOR average lifetime in hMSC-laden HCP700L and HCP700 hydrogels (20 ≤ n ≤ 26). All data are reported as mean ± SD. * P < 0.05 and *** P < 0.001.
