The mechanotransduction spectrum. For elastic (A) and viscous (B) substrates, mechanotransduction can be, respectively, associated with elastotransduction and viscotransduction. (C) For viscoelastic substrates, the two effects cannot be decoupled, and both elastotransduction and viscotransduction may condition cell behavior, hence viscoelastic mechanotransduction.
