“…Because cells are interacting with the substrate surface[55,57,58,[60][61][62][63][64][65][66]70], the cells growing on a stiff substrate exhibit greater rigidity[64,67,71], a more organised cellular Comparative heuristic analysis of pristine titanium, Ti6Al4V and Ti6Al7N powders.Biomaterials in Regenerative Medicinecytoskeleton[55,59,[63][64][65][66][67] and greater flattening[55, 57, 60, 63-66, 70, 72] than those growing on a more elastic substrate. Cells, especially fibroblasts and cells of smooth muscles, exhibit mechanotaxis (durotaxis), moving towards a substrate with greater rigidity…”
