Matrix stress relaxation drives glioblastoma cell response in viscoelastic biomaterials

The extracellular matrix (ECM) of glioblastoma (GBM) is known to modulate cell behavior, yet the specific contributions of matrix biochemical and biomechanical signaling remain poorly understood. To address this, we engineer a tunable hyaluronan-elastin-like protein (HELP) hydrog...
