a 2D cell culture procedure. i. The various hydrogels are spread on the bottom of 96-well plate; ii. The different kinds of cells are seeded on the surface of hydrogels; iii. Live/dead assay or iv. Tubulin tracker staining. Live-dead assay (b–f) and tubulin staining (g–k) of HeLa cells incubated on the hydrogels formed by LMW-L1 and LMW-D1 at a molar ratio of b, g 1:0, c, h 5:1, d, i 1:1, e, j 1:5, and f, k 0:1 after 24 h. Scale bar of b–f and g–k is 50 μm and 5 μm, respectively. l The statistical analysis of cell adhesive and (m) circularity quantification of HeLa cells incubated on hydrogels formed by LMW-L1 and LMW-D1 at different molar ratio
