Abstract
The importance of dynamic mechanical control over the cellular microenvironment has long been appreciated. In a recent issue of Device, Raman and colleagues design a clever yet generalizable tool to achieve this, illustrating magnetic stimulation of an engineered extracellular matrix to induce muscle fiber alignment toward programmed functioning.
