Cell-material interactions are important to tissue engineering. Inspired by the natural
topographic structures on the extracellular matrix, a growing number of studies have …

The limbal stem cell niche is a structure of the ocular surface that is characterized by high
specification, organization, and clinical significance. Harboring the limbal epithelial stem …

Within the concept of integrin growth factor receptor (GFR) cross-talk, little is known about
the effects of GFRs on focal adhesions (FAs). Therefore, we tested the hypothesis whether …

Low proliferation capacity of corneal endothelial cells (CECs) and worldwide limitations in
transplantable donor tissues reveal the critical need of a robust approach for in vitro CEC …

Regarding tissue regeneration, mechanics of biomaterials gains progressive importance.
Therefore, this study reports on in situ crosslinked electrospun gelatin nonwoven mats …

This paper presents a simple analysis based upon Darcy's Law and indentation contact
mechanics to determine the effective hydraulic conductivity and elastic modulus of fluid filled …

This study aimed at identifying putative modulations of tissue homeostatic parameters in
corneal keratinocytes in response to biomechanical cues as basis for innovative cornea …

abstract Objective. This aim of this study was to investigate the cell behavioural response on
clinically applied dental composites in exposition-relevant target cells, ie human gingival …

In recent years, there has been increased research interest in generating corneal
substitutes, either for use in the clinic or as in vitro corneal models. The advancement of 3D …

Maintenance of the epithelium relies on stem cells residing within specialized
microenvironments, known as epithelial crypts. Two‐photon polymerization (2PP) is a …
