Leveraging Viscosity to Unlock the Osteogenic Potential of BMP‐2 Mimetic DWIVA

Small, EarlyView.
Dynamic interfaces based on supported lipid bilayers demonstrate that the osteogenic potential of the BMP‐2 mimetic DWIVA can be harnessed by modulating substrate viscosity. This work highlights that the viscous properties of the cellular microenvironment play a crucial role in the mechanosensitive regulation of growth factor activity.
