In order to decouple the effects of substrate elasticity, ligand concentration, and dimensionality on hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) fate (quiescence, self-renewal, differentiation, mobilization, homing, and apoptosis), HSCs harvested from C57B6 mouse femurs and tibias were cultured in or on top of collagen hydrogels or on top of 2D polyacrylamide (PA) gels with varying mechanics and ligand densities. With collagen hydrogels and type I collagen-coated PA gels with varying stiffness, simple in vitro biomaterials system to probe the effects of substrate mechanics on the biophysical properties of HSCs were created.

In general, HSCs spread out more and showed more irregular morphology with increasing substrate elasticity and ligand density.
