Mechano-mimetic cell culture.
Textured rigidity.
In vivo tissues are soft, elastic and mechanically textured. Living tissues rigidity properties present microscale variations that can play a crucial role in cell response (in a same tissue, rigidity varies from Pa/mm to kPa/μm).. Relying on unique patented technologies and know-how derived from the microelectronic field, the mechanical properties of Mecachips® matrices can be finely tuned up to the μm scale to replicate such variations.
