Abstract excerpt
Survival and maintenance of normal physiological functions depends on continuous interaction of cells with its microenvironment. Cells sense the mechanical properties of underlying substrate by applying force and modulate their behaviour in response to the resistance offered by the substrate. Most of the studies addressing cell-substrate mechanical interactions have been carried out using elastic substrates....
