Do Cells Sense Stress or Strain? Measurement of Cellular Orientation Can Provide a Clue()

We predict theoretically the steady-state orientation of cells subject to dynamical stresses that vary more quickly than the cell relaxation time. We show that the orientation is a strong function of the Poisson's ratio, ν, of the matrix when cell activity is governed by the matrix strain; if c...
