Viscoelastic extracellular matrix enhances epigenetic remodeling and cellular plasticity

Abstract Extracellular matrices of living tissues exhibit viscoelastic properties, yet how these properties regulate chromatin and the epigenome remains unclear. Here, we show that viscoelastic substrates induce changes in nuclear architecture and epigenome, with more pronounced effects on softer su...
