Many biological investigations require 3D imaging of cells or tissues with nanoscale spatial
resolution. We recently discovered that preserved biological specimens can be physically …

Expansion microscopy (ExM) is a newly developed super-resolution technique, allowing
visualization of biological targets at nanoscale resolution on conventional fluorescence …

Wood (cellulose and lignin)-based hydrogels were successfully produced as platforms for
drug-release systems. Viscoelastic and cross-linking behaviors of precursor solutions were …

Adjusting the acrylamide monomer and cross-linker content in polyacrylamide gels controls
the hydrogel stiffness, yet the reported elastic modulus for the same formulations varies …

Expansion microscopy (ExM) is a recently developed technique that enables nanoscale‐
resolution imaging of preserved cells and tissues on conventional diffraction‐limited …

We describe an approach to manipulate and measure mechanical interactions between
cells and their underlying substrates by using microfabricated arrays of elastomeric …

Supramolecular polymer networks are three-dimensional structures of crosslinked
macromolecules connected by transient, non-covalent bonds; they are a fascinating class of …

Polymer gels have two types of concentration fluctuations; liquidlike and solidlike
fluctuations. The former are time‐dependent (thermal) fluctuations and the latter are time …

In this review we highlight new developments in tough hydrogel materials in terms of their
enhanced mechanical performance and their corresponding toughening mechanisms …

Expansion microscopy (ExM) physically magnifies biological specimens to enable
nanoscale-resolution imaging using conventional microscopes. Current ExM methods …
