A novel 2.5D culture platform to investigate the role of stiffness gradients on adhesion-independent cell migration.

Current studies investigating the role of biophysical cues on cell migration focus on the use of culture platforms with static material parameters. However, migrating cells in vivo often encounter spatial variations in extracellular matrix stiffness. To better understand the effects of stiffness gra...
