Cellular Responses to Complex Strain Fields Studied in Microfluidic Devices

Cells in living organisms are constantly experiencing a variety of mechanical cues. From the stiffness of the extra cellular matrix to its topography, not to mention the presence of shear stress and tension, the physical characteristics of the microenvironment shape the cells’ fate. A rapidly growi...
