Effects of extracellular matrix type in modulating cell migration on highly tunable mechanical gradient hydrogels
Mechanical compliance has been demonstrated to be a key determinant of cell behavior, directing processes such as spreading, migration, and differentiation. Durotaxis, directional migration from softer to more stiff regions of a substrate, has been observed for a variety of cell types on mechanical...
