By integrating controlled ligand presentation, compliant viscoelastic mechanics, and robust wet adhesion into a single minimally invasive format, the platform addresses key barriers to pulmonary cell delivery—rapid washout/short residence on a moist, dynamically moving surface and the resulting loss of effective local exposure—while preserving 3D microenvironmental support for MSC function.
