Il metodo presentato prevede lo stiramento uniassiale di idrogel morbidi 3D incorporati nella gomma siliconica, consentendo al contempo la microscopia confocale viva. Vengono dimostrate la caratterizzazione dei ceppi idrogel esterni e interni e l'allineamento delle fibre. Il dispositivo e il protocollo sviluppati possono valutare la risposta delle cellule a vari regimi di deformazione.
