Consistent with previous reports [1] fibroblasts are round on fibrinogen-coated polyacrylamide gels with a shear modulus of 100 Pa and become increasingly spread as the gel stiffness increases until they reach a spread area of approximately 2200 µm2 on 16 kPa polyacrylamide gels (Fig. 1A).

Peptides with higher activation efficiency triggered a higher spreading rate and a greater spread area.
