The recent convergence between physics and biology has led many physicists to enter the
fields of cell and developmental biology. One of the most exciting areas of interest has been …

Neurite outgrowth underlies the wiring of the nervous system during development and
regeneration. Despite a significant body of research, the underlying cytoskeletal mechanics …

The volume of the cell nucleus varies across cell types and species and is commonly
thought to be determined by the size of the genome and degree of chromatin compaction …

The mechanical wiring between cells and their surroundings is fundamental to the
regulation of complex biological processes during tissue development, repair or pathology …

Super-resolution imaging methods such as structured illumination microscopy and others
have offered various compromises between resolution, imaging speed, and biocompatibility …

Living cells exhibit a complex mechanical behavior, whose underlying mechanisms are still
largely unknown. Emerging from the molecular structure and dynamics of the cytoskeleton …

The mechanical properties of biological tissues have emerged as an integral determinant of
tissue function in health and disease. Nonetheless, characterizing the elasticity of biological …

Forces are important for neuronal outgrowth during the initial wiring of the nervous system
and after trauma, yet subcellular force generation over the microtubule-rich region at the rear …

Keloids are fibroproliferative skin disorders characterised clinically by continuous horizontal
progression and post‐surgical recurrence and histologically by the accumulation of collagen …

The mechanical properties of cancer cells at the single-cell and the subcellular level might
be the key for answering long-standing questions in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer …
