Regulation of Endothelial Cell Adherence and Elastic Modulus by Substrate Stiffness [PDF]
Cell Communication & Adhesion, 2015 Although substrate stiffness has been previously reported to affect various cellular aspects, such as morphology, migration, viability, growth, and cytoskeletal structure, its influence on cell adherence has not been well examined. Here, we prepared three soft, medium, and hard polyacrylamide (PAAM) substrates and utilized AFM to study substrate ...

Non-Muscle Myosin II Isoforms Have Different Functions in Matrix Rearrangement by MDA-MB-231 Cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The role of a stiffening extra-cellular matrix (ECM) in cancer progression is documented but poorly understood. Here we use a conditioning protocol to test the role of nonmuscle myosin II isoforms in cell mediated ECM arrangement using collagen ...

The Invalidity of the Laplace Law for Biological Vessels and of Estimating Elastic Modulus from Total Stress vs. Strain: a New Practical Method [PDF]
, 2013 The quantification of the stiffness of tubular biological structures is often obtained, both in vivo and in vitro, as the slope of total transmural hoop stress plotted against hoop strain. Total hoop stress is typically estimated using the "Laplace law."
