Schwann cell durotaxis can be guided by physiologically relevant stiffness gradients

Schwann cell durotaxis can be guided by physiologically relevant stiffness gradients

Abstract Background Successful nerve regeneration depends upon directed migration of morphologically specialized repair state Schwann cells across a nerve defect. Although several groups have studied directed migration of Schwann cells in response to chemical or topographic cues, the current underst...
