Although numerous organ‐on‐a‐chips have been developed, bone‐on‐a‐chip platforms
have rarely been reported because of the high complexity of the bone microenvironment …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult stem cells that can be obtained, enriched and
proliferated in vitro. They owned enormous potential in fields like regenerative medicine …

Many properties in both healthy and pathological tissues are highly influenced by the
mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix. Stiffness gradient hydrogels are frequently …

9p21. 3 locus polymorphisms have the strongest correlation with coronary artery disease,
but as a noncoding locus, disease connection is enigmatic. The lncRNA ANRIL found in …

Cellular senescence refers to a state of irreversible arrest of cell proliferation in response to
various forms of cellular stress. It is known that the accumulation of senescent cells is a …

Cells encounter a wide variety of physical and chemical cues when navigating their native
environments. However, their response to multiple simultaneous cues is not yet clear. In …

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent debilitating age-related joint degenerative disease. It is a
leading cause of pain and functional disability in older adults. Unfortunately, there is no cure …

A groundbreaking work in 1970 by Arthur Ashkin paved the way for developing various
optical trapping techniques. Optical tweezers have become an established method for the …

Under internal or external insults such as aging and oxidative stresses, cells are induced
into a senescent state and stop cellular division permanently. As senescent cells (SnCs) …
