Mesenchymal stem cells have contributed to the continuous progress of tissue engineering
and regenerative medicine. Adipose‐derived stem cells (ADSC) possess many advantages …

In this work, we show how the mechanical properties of the cellular microenvironment
modulate the growth of tumour spheroids. Based on the composition of the extracellular …

Collagen hydrogels are widely used for in-vitro experiments and tissue engineering
applications. Their use has been extended due to their biocompatibility with cells and their …

Cancer cells have the ability to migrate from the primary (original) site to other places in the
body. The extracellular matrix affects cancer cell migratory capacity and has been correlated …

Molecular diffusive membranes or materials are important for biological applications in
microfluidic systems. Hydrogels are typical materials that offer several advantages, such as …

Due to their mechanical and structural similarity to native tissues, hydrogel biomaterials
have gained tremendous popularity for applications in 3D tissue culture, therapeutic …

Type I collagen is the main component of the extracellular matrix (ECM). In vitro, under a
narrow window of physicochemical conditions, type I collagen self-assembles to form …

Migration of single adherent cells is frequently observed in the developing and adult
organism and has been the subject of many studies. Yet, while elegant work has elucidated …
