Collective Cell Behavior in Mechanosensing of Substrate Thickness
Extracellular matrix stiffness has a profound effect on the behavior of many cell types. Adherent cells apply contractile forces to the material on which they adhere and sense the resistance of the material to deformation—its stiffness. This is dependent on both the elastic modulus and the thickness...
