  • Abstract
    Hydrogels are being fabricated for use in many tissue engineering applications. In order to advance the field, material properties must be characterized to determine the most desirable attributes. The data presented shows the importance of both surface charge and mechanical properties on dorsal root ganglia neurite extension.
