Small Force, Big Impact: Next Generation Organ-on-a-Chip Systems Incorporating Biomechanical Cues

Mechanobiology-on-a-chip is a growing field focusing on how mechanical inputs modulate physico-chemical output in microphysiological systems. It is well known that biomechanical cues trigger a variety of molecular events and adjustment of mechanical forces is therefore essential for mimicking in viv...
