Journal ArticleDOI
Matrix elasticity directs stem cell lineage specification.
TL;DR: Naive mesenchymal stem cells are shown here to specify lineage and commit to phenotypes with extreme sensitivity to tissue-level elasticity, consistent with the elasticity-insensitive commitment of differentiated cell types.
Journal ArticleDOI
Myotubes differentiate optimally on substrates with tissue-like stiffness: pathological implications for soft or stiff microenvironments
Adam J. Engler,Maureen A. Griffin,Shamik Sen,Carsten G. Bönnemann,H. Lee Sweeney,Dennis E. Discher +5 more
TL;DR: Contractile myocytes provide a test of the hypothesis that cells sense their mechanical as well as molecular microenvironment, altering expression, organization, and/or morphology accordingly, and have major implications for in vivo introduction of stem cells into diseased or damaged striated muscle of altered mechanical composition.

Journal ArticleDOI
Indentation and Adhesive Probing of a Cell Membrane with AFM: Theoretical Model and Experiments
TL;DR: This work theoretically model the contact of an AFM tip with a cell membrane, where direct motivation and data are derived from a prototypical ligand-receptor adhesion experiment, and indentation depth proves initially proportional to membrane tension and does not follow the standard Hertz model.
Book ChapterDOI
Microtissue Elasticity: Measurements by Atomic Force Microscopy and Its Influence on Cell Differentiation
TL;DR: An atomic force microscopy (AFM) method is described and validated as applied to two comparatively simple hydrogel systems and illustrated with lineage commitment of stem cells due to matrix elasticity.
