Type I collagen hydrogels have been used successfully as three-dimensional substrates for
cell culture and have shown promise as scaffolds for engineered tissues and tumors. A …

Three-dimensional biomimetic scaffolds have widespread applications in biomedical tissue
engineering because of their nanoscaled architecture, eg, nanofibers and nanopores …

The intravitreal delivery of therapeutic agents promises major benefits in the field of ocular
medicine. Traditional delivery methods rely on the random, passive diffusion of molecules …

To investigate how cells sense stiffness in settings structurally similar to native extracellular
matrices, we designed a synthetic fibrous material with tunable mechanics and user-defined …

Artificial nanomotors are nanoscale machines capable of converting surrounding other
energy into mechanical motion and thus entering the tissues and cells of organisms. They …

New generations of synthetic biomaterials are being developed at a rapid pace for use as
three-dimensional extracellular microenvironments to mimic the regulatory characteristics of …

Bone tissue engineering is a rapidly developing area. Engineering bone typically uses an
artificial extracellular matrix (scaffold), osteoblasts or cells that can become osteoblasts, and …

Synthetic hydrogels have been molecularly engineered to mimic the invasive characteristics
of native provisional extracellular matrices: a combination of integrin-binding sites and …

Bringing to life the fascinating structures and unique mechanics of natural and biomedical
cellular materials, this book is an expert guide to the subject for graduates and researchers …

Cell migration on 2D surfaces is governed by a balance between counteracting tractile and
adhesion forces. Although biochemical factors such as adhesion receptor and ligand …
