Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 433682494
This interdisciplinary project aims at the generation of a biosynthetic material, in which mammalian cells are utilized as information-processing elements that sense, integrate, and feedback on physiological stimuli. Using the expertise of three laboratories specialized in cell biology/biophysics, biomaterial science, and coordination chemistry, 3D hydrogels harbouring mesenchymal stem cells and novel metal-organic based tension sensors, will be generated. The resulting hybrid nanosystem should sense and adapt to various stimuli including mechanical forces, biochemical signals, and light.
