Covalent on-cell conjugation of biomaterials through oxidative phenolic coupling regulates stem cell fate via intracellular biophysical programming

Castro Johnbosco, Malin Becker, Niels G. A. Willemen…·Jeroen Leijten

This study uses covalent on-cell oxidative phenolic coupling to tether hydrogels to stem cells, showing it regulates cell fate through biophysical changes without relying on YAP/TAZ signaling.
