The past 20 years have witnessed ever-growing evidence that the mechanical properties of
biological tissues, from nanoscale to macroscale dimensions, are fundamental for cellular …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are present in all organs and tissues. Several studies have
shown the therapeutic potential effect of MSC or their derived products. However, the …

Despite considerable advancements in cell membrane-camouflaged nanocarriers to
leverage natural cell functions, artificial nanocarriers that can accurately mimic both the …

Transmission of mechanical force is crucial for normal cell development and functioning.
However, the process of mechanotransduction cannot be studied in isolation from cell …

We present a procedure that allows a reliable determination of the elastic (Young's) modulus
of soft samples, including living cells, by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The standardized …

Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) are promising cell sources for regenerative
therapies due to their multipotency and ready availability, but their application can be …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) display substantial cell-to-cell variation. This heterogeneity
manifests among donors, among tissue sources, and within cell populations. Such pervasive …

Rare cells are low-abundance cells in a much larger population of background cells.
Conventional benchtop techniques have limited capabilities to isolate and analyze rare cells …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have been considered the promising candidates for the
regenerative and personalized medicine due to their self-renewal potential, multilineage …

The field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM) has exploded in the last
decade. In this Year (or so) in Review, we highlight some of the high impact advances within …
