Our project will be focused on the development of a multifunctional oscillating hydrogel device that undergoes reversible, time dependent and sinusoidal volume/mechanical changes in response to temperature perturbations. These oscillating hydrogels will then be employed inregulating musculoskeletal differentiation of stem cells in the context of regenerative medicine. « Hide
