Tailoring mechanical properties of gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogels to match soft tissues. (A) Young’s modulus for the hydrogels prepared from 5.0 (black) and 7.5% GelMA (grey). Error bars are based on the standard deviation of 5 replicates. *Indicates significant difference (P < 0.05). (B) Comparison of Young’s modulus developed in this work (dashed box) with the soft biological tissues (grey bars). Dashed box represents the region for 5.0-7.5% GelMA. The Young’s modulus values obtained for the GelMA hydrogels were compared with the values reported within the literature for 7 soft biological tissues34,35.
