Mechanical properties of extracellular matrices (ECMs) regulate essential cell behaviours,
including differentiation, migration and proliferation, through mechanotransduction. Studies …

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are complex polysaccharides exhibiting a vast structural
diversity and fulfilling various functions mediated by thousands of interactions in the …

The cells and tissues that make up our body manage contradictory mechanical demands. It
is crucial for their survival to be able to withstand large mechanical loads, but it is equally …

Cells can sense and respond to mechanical forces in fibrous extracellular matrices (ECMs)
over distances much greater than their size. This phenomenon, termed long-range force …

3-dimensional (3D) in vitro models were developed in order to mimic the complexity of real
organ/tissue in a dish. They offer new possibilities to model biological processes in more …

Epithelial tissues provide an important barrier function in animals, but these tissues are
subjected to extreme strains during day-to-day activities such as feeding and locomotion …

Many pathologic conditions lead to the development of tissue scarring and fibrosis, which
are characterized by the accumulation of abnormal extracellular matrix (ECM) and changes …

In mammals, mechanics at multiple stages—nucleus to cell to ECM—underlie multiple
physiological and pathological functions from its development to reproduction to death …

The purpose of this study was to see the effect of stress management and emotional
management on students' anxiety levels in the new normal. This research is an ex post facto …

Bone-to-soft tissue interfaces are responsible for transferring loads between tissues with
significantly dissimilar material properties. The examples of connective soft tissues are …
