Human leukemia cell lines grow and form colonies in unmodified self-assembling peptide hydrogels (SAPH). (A) Cell viability assays determined by accrued luminescence measured by RealTime-Glo™; for U937 cells in increasing concentrations of hydrogel. Statistical significance (determined by two-way ANOVA in GraphPad Prism): ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001. N = 3, n = 3. (B) Phase-contrast images of human leukemic cell lines seeded at 5 × 104/mL or 1 × 105/mL in unmodified 6 mg/mL SAPH. Scale bars = 100 µm.
