Dynamics of Cellular Rigidity Sensing on the Micron and Sub-micron Scale

This thesis describes a study of the effect of environmental cues including physical attribute of the cellular environment on cellular force and force transduction. Different mechanical parameters such as geometry and rigidity of the substrate are controlled independently and forces exerted by cells...
