Stiffness Mediated‐Mechanosensation of Airway Smooth Muscle Cells on Linear Stiffness Gradient Hydrogels

Yong Hwee Tan,

et al.

Abstract: In obstructive airway diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the extracellular matrix (ECM) protein amount and composition of the airway smooth muscle (ASM) is often remodelled, likely altering tissue stiffness. The underlying mechanism of how human ASM cell (hASMC) mechanosenses the aberrant microenvironment is not well understood. Physiological stiffnesses of the ASM layer were measured by uniaxial compression tester using porcine ASM layers under 0, 5 and 10% longitudinal stretch… Show more
