abstract：:In natural tissues, cells form multiple attachment sites to their extracellular matrix. By means of those attachments, cells deform as the tissue deforms in response to the natural mechanical stresses and strains that the tissue must sustain during function. These mechanical forces are the energy input that instruct t...
