Gelatin-linked synNotch ligand hydrogel platform
Construct PatternThe gelatin-linked synNotch ligand hydrogel platform is a material-to-cell signaling system in which synNotch ligands are covalently attached to gelatin polymers by enzymatic conjugation or click chemistry. These ligand-functionalized hydrogels activate synthetic Notch receptors in mammalian cells cultured on or within the material, enabling prescribed transcriptional responses and spatial control of cell phenotypes.
