For example, Hara et al reported that COL IV stimulates dendricity in human MCs on glass substrates (considered as ultra-hard stiffness) (Hara et al, 1994), while melanin production on stiff PDMS substrates (5.5 MPa) coated with laminin is higher compared to softer counterparts (from 50 kPa to 1.8 MPa) (Choi et al, 2014)
Side effect profiles are broadly similar between the two medications
