Subtle Regulation of Scaffold Stiffness for the Optimized Control of Cell Behavior

The rigidity of extracellular matrices can impact cell fate, guide tissue development, and initiate tumor formation. Scaffolds such as hydrogels with tunable levels of stiffness have been developed to control cell adhesion, migration, and differentiation, providing suitable microenvironments for dif...
