The behavior of normal adherent cells is influenced by the stiffness of the substrate they are anchored to. Cells are able to detect substrate mechanical properties by actively generating contractile forces and use this information to migrate and proliferate. In particular, the speed and direction o

PC12 cells have previously been shown to cease cell division during nerve growth-factor (NGF)-induced differentiation by affecting specific cell cycle proteins. Staurosporine, a protein kinase inhibitor, also causes PC12 cell differentiation, independently of neurotrophins or plasma membrane recepto
