Substrate viscoelasticity regulates fibroblast adhesion and migration

2025-03-25

Abstract excerpt

Mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM) modulate cell-substrate interactions and influence cellular behaviors such as contractility, migrations, and proliferation. Although the effects of substrate stiffness on mechanobiology have been well studied, the role of ECM viscoelasticity in fibrotic progression remains less understood. To examine how viscoelasticity affects the biophysical properties and...
