Popis: In this study, we designed a cell-adhesive poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-based hydrogel that simultaneously provides topographical and electrical stimuli to C2C12 myoblasts. Specifically, PEG hydrogels with microgroove structures of 3 μm ridges and 3 μm grooves were prepared by micromolding; in situ polymerization of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) was then performed within the micropatterned PEG hydrogels to create a microgrooved conductive hydrogel (CH/P). The CH/P had clear replica patterns of the silicone mold and a conductivity of 2.49 × 10
