Abstract excerpt
There is a profound dependence of cell behaviour on the stiffness of its microenvironment. To gain a better understanding of the regulation of cellular differentiation by mechanical cues, we investigated the influence of matrix stiffness (E = 1.46 kPa and E = 26.12 kPa) on differentiated osteogenic cell lineage of bone marrow stem cells (BM-MSCs) and bone-derived cells (BDCs) using flexible collagen-coated...
