Summary:
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have shown that the elasticity of a stem cell's environment is a major determinant of what type of tissue the stem cell becomes. They say the study provides new clues on how chemical and mechanical factors interact to influence stem cell growth.
Commentary: Maybe this finding will provide researchers with new insights into how to transform stem cells into specific human cell types.
