Cells are highly dynamic representatives of living matter. They can be influenced by
different parameters, including micro- and nanostructures, mechanics and chemistry. At the
same time, they can move over large distances and actively apply significant forces. A
highly important question is how cells sense, transduct and respond to multi-scale forces,
and which physical principles underlie these processes. These principles can lead to
functional biohybrid materials, where cells control the materials to execute autonomous,
dynamic, coordinated, and multi-scale behavior.
