Author response: Integrin α5β1 nano-presentation regulates collective keratinocyte migration independent of substrate rigidity

Abstract

The use of nanopatterned hydrogels and specific integrin α5β1 peptidomimetic revealed that keratinocytes require an optimum inter-ligand spacing to best propagate intercellular forces and efficiently coordinate cell sheet migration.
