Abstract
A platform and method for mimicking the environment within a cell is provided. The platform includes a microfluidic device defining a chamber. At least one hydrogel post is positioned within the chamber of the microfluidic device. Each hydrogel post defines a corresponding pore for receiving a first molecule therein. Second molecules are introduced into the pores of the hydrogel posts and the interactions between the first and second molecules are observed.
