The effect of degradability on hMSC spreading and proliferation in RGDS-functionalized MAP hydrogels. a) Maximum intensity Z- projection of cytoskeleton staining of hMSCs cultured in MAP hydrogels after 2 and 8 days. Green represents F- actin and blue represents nuclei. Scale bars are 100 μm. b) Quantification of cell number. c) Quantification of cell volume. * comparison factor: degradability; # comparison factor: time. * indicates p < 0.05, *** and ### indicate p < 0.0001, Two-way ANOVA and Tukey’s multiple comparisons test.
