Role of Substrate Stiffness in Tissue Spreading : Wetting Transition and Tissue Durotaxis

Living tissues undergo wetting transitions: On a surface, they can either form a dropletlike cell aggregate or spread as a monolayer of migrating cells. Tissue wetting depends not only on the chemical but also on the mechanical properties of the substrate. Here, we study the role of substrate stiffn...
