Abstract: Cells are capable of sensing the differences in elastic and viscous properties (i.e., the 'viscoelasticity') of their tissue microenvironment and responding accordingly by changing their transcriptional activity and modifying their behaviors. When designing viscoelastic materials… read more here.
