Cells sense hidden mechanical cues
short by / on 05 Jun 2025,Thursday
Researchers at IIT Bombay have found that cells sense mechanical patterns, which affect their growth direction. By embedding rigid objects in soft materials to create pre-strain gradients, they demonstrated how this guided cell alignment over long distances. This insight could simplify tissue engineering, allowing for material design instead of complex chemical scaffolds.
