Stimuli-responsive materials: A smart way to study dynamic cell responses [PDF]

Smart Materials in Medicine, 2022
Cells in the body reside within the extracellular matrix (ECM), a three-dimensional environment that not only provides structural support for the cells, but also influences cellular processes, like migration and differentiation. The ECM and the cells continuously engage in a complex and highly dynamic interplay, shaping both the matrix as well as the ...
