Figure 2. (A, B) Distinct moduli of human tissues suggesting tissue-specific stiffness (A) and substrate elasticity (B) used to direct stem cell differentiation toward the cell phenotypes of various tissues. Figure 2A was adapted from Handorf et al.8 by using some of its data in combination with other data source13-15 and Figure 2B was reprinted from Han et al.18 Copyright © Royal Society of Chemistry.
