The strong light–matter interaction in ZnO-embedded microcavities has received great
attention in recent years, due to its ability to generate the robust bosonic quasiparticles …

Mechanical cues exert considerable influence on the fates of stem cells and terminally
differentiated chondrocytes. The elucidation of the interactions between cell fate and …

We monitored the viability and morphology of mouse fibroblast cells cultured on PDMS
substrates with different degrees of polymer stiffness. The stiffness was controlled by varying …

Microfluidic cell culture assays are versatile tools for studying cell migration, particularly
angiogenesis. Such assays can deliver precisely controlled linear gradients of chemical …

Biomolecular signaling is of utmost importance in governing many biological processes
such as the patterning of the developing embryo where biomolecules regulate key cell-fate …

Alzheimer's disease is accompanied by progressive, time-dependent changes of three
moieties of amyloid beta. In vitro models therefore should provide same conditions for more …
