Recently, the research field of cell mechanobiology has become closely related with the biomaterials and biomedical researches. The regulation of cell mechanobiology has a strong potential for materials–based cell manipulation. How is the cell mechanobiology affected by extracellular milieu? What kind of parameters of materials regulates the mechanobiology–based cell functions? In this mini–review, I discuss the parameters designing soft mechanics of cell adhesion interfaces with extracellular matrix/substrate surface.
