The cell surface is a mechanobiological unit that encompasses the plasma membrane, its
interacting proteins, and the complex underlying cytoskeleton. Recently, attention has been …

Cellular and tissue biosystems emerge from the assembly of their constituent molecules and
obtain a set of specific material properties. To measure these properties and understand …

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has found a wide range of bio-applications in the past few
decades due to its ability to measure biological samples in natural environments at a high …

The cellular microenvironment plays a critical role in cell differentiation, proliferation,
migration, and homeostasis. Recent studies have shown the importance of substrate …

Motor proteins include several protein families (Kinesin, Dynein and Myosin) responsible for
intracellular transport, intercellular communication, among other functions. In cancer cells …

Cellular mechanics plays an important role in physiological processes such as cell growth,
differentiation, apoptosis and gene expression. Herein, we present a nano-imprinted …

Recent research has highlighted the growing significance of the mechanical properties of
cells and tissues in the proper execution of physiological functions within an organism; …

Cell stiffness is an important characteristic of cells and their response to external stimuli. In
this review, we survey methods used to measure cell stiffness, summarize stimuli that alter …

Gemcitabine (GEM), an antimetabolite that terminates DNA synthesis, is commonly used in
the treatment of cancers including lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). However, downregulation …

Background The role of glycolysis in tumorigenesis has received increasing attention and
