The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Three-Dimensional Photopatterning of Hydrogels Containing Living Cells (2002, background): “Others have used very small polymer chains and high polymer densities or very high UV intensities (Ward et al., 2001; Beebe et al., 2000) that are not amenable to cell survival.”
A BioMEMS review: MEMS technology for physiologically integrated devices (2004, background): “Hydrogels that swell in response to changes in osmotic pressure [45], pH [46]–[49], or temperature or analyte concentration [50] could be quite useful for sensing applications in vivo.”
Fatigue of double-network hydrogels (2017, methodology): “The large, environment-responsive swelling and de-swelling have been used to develop sensors and actuators [6,7].”
Large deformation and electrochemistry of polyelectrolyte gels (2010, neutral): “Alternatively, following Gibbs and Biot, one can regard a gel as a single phase, characterized by fields of deformation gradient and composition; for developments along this line see Nemat-Nasser and Li (2000), Xiao and Bhattacharya (2001), De et al.”
