Mechanosensing and mechanotransduction pathways between the Extracellular Matrix (ECM) cells form essential crosstalk that regulates cell homeostasis, tissue development, morphology, maintenance, function. Understanding these mechanisms involves creating an appropriate support elicits signals to guide cellular functions. In this context, polymers can serve as ideal molecules for producing biomaterials designed mimic characteristics of ECM, thereby triggering responsive closely resemble those induced by a natural physiological system. The generated specific stimuli depend on different or synthetic origins polymers, chemical composition, assembly structure, physical surface properties biomaterials. This review discusses most widely used their customization develop with tailored properties. It examines how biomaterials-based be harnessed replicate functions biological cells, making them suitable biomedical biotechnological applications.
