(A) In vitro degradation of SilkMA hydrogels incubated in 1 U/ml collagenase II at 32°C for 2, 5, and 7 days (n = 5). (B) Measurement of the macromers not crosslinked in the hydrogel network after photocrosslinking (mass loss, %) (n = 3). Cyclic compressive mechanical testing of SilkMA hydrogels (n = 3): (C) representative compressive strain‐stress curves and (D) Young's moduli. Data presented as mean value ± SD (*p<.05, **p<.01, ***p<.001, ****p<.0001)
