PROBING CELLULAR MECHANO-SENSITIVITY USING BIOMEMBRANE-MIMICKING CELL SUBSTRATES OF ADJUSTABLE STIFFNESS
… mechanosensitivity. Here, we apply this novel biomembrane-mimicking cell substrate design to explore the mechanosensitivity of C2C12 myoblasts in the presence of cell-cell-mimicking N-cadherin linkers. Experiments are presented, which demonstrate a relationship between the degree of bilayer …

Design of Biomembrane-Mimicking Substrates of Tunable Viscosity to Regulate Cellular Mechanoresponse
Tissue cells display mechanosensitivity in their ability to discern and respond to changes in the viscoelastic properties of their surroundings. By anchoring and pulling, cells are capable of translating mechanical stimuli into a biological response through a process known as mechanotransduction, a …
