Mechanically primed cells transfer memory to fibrous matrices for persistent invasion
2022-05-02
Abstract excerpt
In disease and development, cells sense and migrate across mechanically dissimilar environments. We investigated whether mechanical memory of past environments empowers cells to navigate new, three-dimensional environments. Here, we show that cells primed by stiff matrices apply higher forces, compared to soft-primed cells, to accumulate and align collagen fibers towards sustained invasion. This priming advantage...
