Norbornene Homopolymerization Limits Cell Spreading in Thiol–Ene Photoclick Hydrogels
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Thiol–norbornene click reactions are often used in the development of cell‐permissive 3D hydrogels. However, ene–ene crosslinks in other thiol–ene systems are known to limit permissivity. This study demonstrates the negative effects of norbornene homopolymerization on 3D cell spreading and circumvents the issue by modulating polymer degree of ...
