Force exertion is an integral part of cellular behavior. Traction force microscopy (TFM) has
been instrumental for studying such forces, providing spatial force measurements at …

Phagocytosis requires rapid actin reorganization and spatially controlled force generation to
ingest targets ranging from pathogens to apoptotic cells. How actomyosin activity directs …

The mobility of edge dislocation in Cu–Ni solid solution alloys within a wide range of
temperatures 100–1100 K and Ni concentrations 0–30 at.% is studied by molecular …

Spall strength characterizes the tensile performance of materials under high strain rates.
However, theoretical prediction of the spall strength has long been a big challenge since it …

Essential cellular processes such as cell adhesion, migration and division strongly depend
on mechanical forces. The standard method to measure cell forces is traction force …

Dislocation emission has been regarded as an important mechanism of void growth during
the failure process of ductile metals. Existing criteria for dislocation emission on the void …

Macrophages phagocytose and thereby eliminate a wide array of extracellular threats,
ranging from antibody-coated bacteria to apoptotic cells. Precision modulation of …

Cell traction force (CTF) is a kind of active force that is a cell senses external environment
and actively applies to the contact matrix which is currently a representative stress in cell …

The reciprocal interplay between cancer cells and their local environment, mediated by
mechanical forces, necessitates a deeper experimental understanding. This requires …

In the present work, the pair interaction of coaxial circular prismatic dislocation loops (PDLs)
arbitrary placed in elastic solids with free spherical surfaces is considered. The analytical …
