Cell sensing on strain-stiffening substrates is not fully explained by the nonlinear mechanical property
Cells respond to their mechanical environment by changing shape and size, migrating, or even differentiating to a more specialized cell type. A better understanding of the response of cells to surrounding cues will allow for more targeted and effected designs for biomedical applications, such as di...
