, the HUVECs in the chip show responsivity to fluid shear stress and express higher endothelial functions than the corresponding static culture. Therefore, non-swelling hydrogel-based microfluidic chips could potentially be applicable for cell/tissue-related applications, performing much better than conventional PDMS or existing hydrogel based microfluidic chips.
