Fig. (2) Schematic representation of the experiment. C2Cl2 and MEF cells were seeded on different PIPAAm termperature-responsive dishes (1) and culture for 3 days at 37 °C and 5% CO2 (2). In order to perform the tensile test, culture dishes were then transferred at RT to allow cells detachment and formation of C2Cl2 and MEF cell sheets (3).
