Abstract excerpt
Matrix elasticity exerts considerable influence on the phenotype of terminally differentiated chondrocytes via physical cues. The Yes-associated protein (YAP) transcription co-activator is recognized as a key mediator that may be involved in the nuclear transduction of physical cues controlling cellular behavior and function. However, whether substrate elasticity in the regulation of the chondrocyte phenotype is...
