First and Last Name: Niels Willemen Student/PhD/Postdoc: PhD student Institute: University of Twente Department: Leijten Lab Group leader: Jeroen Leijten A Colourful Cuddle In this experiment, human mesenchymal stem cells (stained with phalloidin) and cell-adhesive microgels (stained with ATTO565 (red) and FITC (green)) self-assembled into a living microtissue. The properties of these cell-adhesive microgels are both physically and chemically tuneable. Moreover, the cell-adhesive microgels are able to direct the behaviour of the cells, for example by influencing cell fate by microgel stiffness. Instrument used to produce the image: Zeiss LSM880
