Cell-mediated fiber recruitment drives extracellular matrix mechanosensing in engineered fibrillar microenvironments

To investigate how cells sense stiffness in settings structurally similar to native extracellular matrices (ECM), we designed a synthetic fibrous material with tunable mechanics and user-defined architecture. In contrast to flat hydrogel surfaces, these fibrous materials recapitulated cell-matrix in...
