Matrix Stiffness Directs Stemness Signatures in Breast Cancer
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.We built lab‐grown breast cancer models to study how the stiffness of the tumor's surroundings influences cancer behavior. Softer environments encouraged more stem‐like, drug‐resistant cells, while stiffer ones kept cells more differentiated. These findings show that tissue mechanics drive cancer diversity and drug resistance, offering new insights for

Cell Adhesion by Design: Engineering Tissue Culture Scaffolds With Adhesion Cues
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In scaffold‐based tissue engineering, the matrix should provide adequate adhesion cues for cell attachment, spreading, and function. Given the multitude of adhesion receptors and the diversity of scaffolds, there are many approaches to render scaffolds adhesive, even though they are not all equivalent.
