Stiffness of Substrates Directs the Stem Cell Differentiation
An article published by The Scientist details the benefits between soft and stiff substrates for differing stem cell applications. See Original Article. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) possess enormous potential as they can differentiate into various types of cells including bone, cartilage, muscle, and fat. Recent research suggests that the stiffness of the extracellular environment [...]
