Mechanoactive Biomaterials for Cell–Matrix Mechanotransduction
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.The graphical abstract shows how individual triggers (force, light, or temperature) and combined optothermal or receptor‐targeted actuation induce material responses at the tissue, cellular, and receptor scales. Their spatial (global or focused) and temporal (continuous or cyclic) modulation determines the resulting mechanical output.

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.When exposed to light of a defined wavelength, the photoisomerization of azobenzene chromophores leads to polymer reorientation, generating stresses that result in solvent‐facilitated localized delamination of the film from the substrate. Additionally, blisters that form spontaneously when exposed to an aqueous environment can be manipulated via ...
