Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Durotaxis Depends on Substrate Stiffness Gradient Strength

Mechanical compliance is emerging as an important environmental cue that can influence certain cell behaviors, such as morphology and motility. Recent in vitro studies have shown that cells preferentially migrate from less stiff to more stiff substrates; however, much of this phenomenon, termed duro...
