Mechanical Regulation of Cell Substrates Effects Stem Cell Development, Adhesion
Tue, 03 Aug 2010 12:00:00 -0500
Bioengineers at the University of Pennsylvania have created a system to control the flexibility of the substrate surfaces on which cells are grown without changing the surface properties, providing a technique for more controlled lab experiments on cellular mechanobiology. This is an important step in the scientific effort to understand how cells sense and respond to mechanical forces in their environment.
