De gepresenteerde methode omvat het uniaxiaal uitrekken van 3D zachte hydrogels ingebed in siliconenrubber terwijl live confocale microscopie mogelijk is. Karakterisering van de externe en interne hydrogelstammen en vezeluitlijning worden gedemonstreerd. Het ontwikkelde apparaat en protocol kunnen de reactie van cellen op verschillende stamregimes beoordelen.
