Beyond stiffness: interfacial slippage and active cellular matrix remodelling in focal adhesion dynamics.
Focal adhesion (FA) dynamics and cell migration depend sensitively on the mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix, yet substrate stiffness alone cannot account for the distinct behaviours observed on natural versus artificial materials. In this review, we synthesize experimental findings on cells interacting...
