Schematic of 3D hydrogels used for live cell microscopy (A) without and (B) with a 500-Oe magnetic field (MF). RFP-LifeACT-labeled hCASMC in 5 mg/mL collagen, 1 mg/mL HA, and 0.5 wt% MPs (C) without a magnetic field and (D) corresponding heat map of bead displacement. (E) Cells and (F) heat map with a magnetic field. Quantification of beads’ displacement due to cell motility with (G) 0 Oe (w/o MF) and 500 Oe (w/ MF) (n = 75 beads per condition). Box and whisker plots of (H) bead displacement. Scale = 25-μm. *p < 0.05.
