Substrate stiffness controls proinflammatory responses in human gingival fibroblasts
Abstract Soft gingiva is often compromised in gingival health; however, the underlying biological mechanisms remain unknown. Extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness is involved in the progression of various fibroblast-related inflammatory disorders via cellular mechanotransduction. Gingival stiffness m...
