Interplay among cell migration, shaping, and traction force on a matrix with cell-scale stiffness heterogeneity
In living tissues where cells migrate, the spatial distribution of mechanical properties, especially matrix stiffness, is generally heterogeneous, with cell scales ranging from 10 to 1000 μm. Since cell migration in the body plays a critical role in morphogenesis, wound healing, and cancer metastasi...
