Modifying the macroscopic properties of fibrin, such as elasticity and porosity, has been somewhat elusive until recently, yet with a molecular-level rational design approach it can be somewhat easily modified through alterations of molecular interactions key to the protein's polymerization process.

The Mechanical Properties of Modified Fibrin Fibers: Blocking the B-b Knob-Pocket Interaction
Biophysical Journal, 104(2), 512a–513a.
TL;DR:
Fibrin clot formation was studied to determine the mechanical properties of fibrin fibers modified by blocking the B-b knob-pocket interaction and it was found that the density and lateral aggregation of fibers was hindered byblocking the b-pockets with the synthetic B-knobs.

Directing epithelial to mesenchymal transition through engineered microenvironments displaying orthogonal adhesive and mechanical cues
Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, 100A(8), 2119–2127.
author keywords: epithelial to mesenchymal transition; fibronectin mutant; substrate stiffness; cell contractility; alveolar epithelial cell
MeSH headings : Animals; Biomarkers / metabolism; Cell Adhesion / drug effects; Cell Line; Cellular Microenvironment / drug effects; Cues; Epithelial Cells / cytology; Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition / drug effects; Fibronectins / chemistry; Fibronectins / pharmacology; Mink; Phenotype; Protein Stability / drug effects; Pulmonary Alveoli / cytology; Repetitive Sequences, Amino Acid; Transforming Growth Factor beta / pharmacology
TL;DR:
C cultured lung epithelial cells on combinations of different mutants of fibronectin's cell binding domain that preferentially engage specific integrins and substrates of varying stiffness suggest that integrin-specific engagement of fibRONectin adhesive domains and the mechanics of the ECM act synergistically to direct EMT.

TL;DR:
In vitro research finds that stiff, but not soft, fibronectin substrates induce EMT, a response dependent on cell contraction‐mediated integrin activation of TGFβ.
