Substrate Mechanics

Substrate Mechanics is a biomechanical framework that characterizes the physical properties and mechanical behavior of extracellular substrates, distinguishing it from other matrix-level phenomena by focusing on the stiffness, elasticity, topography, and force transmission capabilities of the underlying material to which cells adhere.
