“…A careful design and fabrication of the hydrogels is crucial to properly recapitulate specific mechanobiological responses, and in particular, those involved in the migration of normal and cancer cells [ 163 , 164 ]. To this end, the material must be structurally stable during processing and after gelation, adopting the desired 3D geometry [ 165 ]. Moreover, hydrogels must display the appropriate mechanical and biochemical properties, i.e., elasticity, porosity, permeability, stiffness, cross-linking, and biodegradability, to render a suitable environment for cell attachment, growth, and differentiation [ 166 , 167 ].…”
