Studying the role of spatial cell distribution and substrate stiffness in inflammatory and fibrotic responses in human lung using bioengineered platforms

The extracellular matrix (ECM) has emerged as a major regulator of cell behaviours. Changes in extracellular matrix, especially its composition, organization/ dimensionality, and rigidity have been implicated in various aspects of cellular functions including cell growth, migration, and differentiat...
