Effect of strain and stiffness on matrix remodelling genes

Cells embedded within tissues respond to mechanical, chemical and biological signals. However, the detail of how mechanical forces are transmitted to cells is poorly understood at present and represents a key missing link in Tissue Engineering. As cells attach to the fibrils in fibroblast-seeded 3D...
