Influence of the PDMS substrate stiffness on the adhesion of Acanthamoeba castellanii

Background: Mechanosensing of cells, particularly the cellular response to substrates with different elastic properties, has been discovered in recent years, but almost exclusively in mammalian cells. Much less attention has been paid to mechanosensing in other cell systems, such as in eukaryotic hu...
