A variety of concentrations in a variety of biomaterials, including agarose, alginate, the collagens, fibrin, hyaluronic acid, kerateine, laminin, Matrigel, and polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA), were tested with atomic force microscopy (AFM). We also determined the Young’s modulus (E) of hydrogels with different concentrations. E tended to increase with increased concentration. en Wake Forest University Atomic Force Microscopy Breast Cancer Cancer cells Hydrogels Multiple Myeloma Young's Modulus CHARACTERIZING THE MICRO-SCALE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF HYDROGELS AND CANCER CELLS Dissertation Guthold, Martin Bierbach, Ulrich Holzwarth, George Macosko, Jed Guthold, Martin Physics open.access
