Acting as a bridge between the cytoskeleton of the cell and the extra cellular matrix (ECM),
the cell-ECM adhesions with integrins at their core, play a major role in cell signalling to …

Multicellular organisms are composed of diverse cell types that must coordinate their
behaviors through communication. Cell–cell communication (CCC) is essential for growth …

Deep Learning (DL) methods are powerful analytical tools for microscopy and can
outperform conventional image processing pipelines. Despite the enthusiasm and …

Electrogenerated chemiluminescence microscopy (ECLM) provides a real-time imaging
approach to visualize the surface-dependent catalytic activity of nanocatalysts, which helps …

Cells generate mechanical forces (traction forces, TFs) while interacting with the
extracellular matrix or neighbouring cells. Forces are generated by both cells and …

Live-cell super-resolution microscopy enables the imaging of biological structure dynamics
below the diffraction limit. Here we present enhanced super-resolution radial fluctuations …

Vimentin is a Type III intermediate filament (VIF) cytoskeletal protein that regulates the
mechanical and migratory behavior of cells. Its expression is considered to be a marker for …

Abstract Four-dimensional (4 D) printing is a novel emerging technology, which can be
defined as the ability of 3 D printed materials to change their form and functions. The term …

Quantifying small, rapidly progressing three-dimensional forces generated by cells remains
a major challenge towards a more complete understanding of mechanobiology. Traction …

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a pre-invasive stage of breast cancer. During invasion, the
encapsulating DCIS basement membrane (BM) is compromised, and tumor cells invade the …
