Cytoskeletal stiffening in synthetic hydrogels, Published online: 05 February 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-08569-4

Although common in biology, controlled stiffening of hydrogels in vitro is difficult to achieve. Here the authors show how a biomimetic hybrid hydrogel can be stiffened instantaneously and reversibly up to 50 times.
