This study uses a magnetoactive hydrogel to investigate how curvature affects endothelial cell mechanosensing, finding that curvature influences YAP localization and junctional dynamics independently of shear stress.

This study shows that hydrogel dimensionality affects how tendon fibroblasts respond to mechanical cues, altering nascent matrix deposition.

The paper shows that nascent extracellular matrix converts hydrogel chemical cues into cell fate decisions, with low modification promoting differentiation and high modification promoting proliferation.
