Cell Spreading

Cell spreading is the process by which a cell increases its contact area with a substrate through cytoskeletal reorganization and membrane extension, distinguishing it from other cell-scaffold interaction phenomena by its focus on the morphological adaptation of individual cells to surface topography, chemistry, and mechanical cues.
