How cells can sense and respond to invisible mechanical patterns—like built-in tensions around them

Researchers at IIT Bombay uncover how strain fields produced by embedded inhomogeneities within biomaterials influence cell alignment, reshaping our understanding of cell behaviour in development, disease, and tissue engineering. 

The research led by Professor Abhijit Majumder, was published in Cell Reports Physical Science. The findings not only add to the fundamental understanding of how cells organise themselves, but also have important implications for tissue engineering, cancer research, and wound healing.
