Mechanics of tensegrity cell units incorporating asymmetry and insights into mollitaxis

The mechanical response of a contractile cell anchored to the substrate through focal adhesions is studied by means of an asymmetric pre-strained tensegrity structure obeying a neo-Hookean stress–strain law. The aim is to assess the influence of overall asymmetric contraction on the cell durotaxis a...
