Cell migration is fundamental to establishing and maintaining the proper organization of
multicellular organisms. Morphogenesis can be viewed as a consequence, in part, of cell …

Cell migration underlies tissue formation, maintenance, and regeneration as well as
pathological conditions such as cancer invasion. Structural and molecular determinants of …

We report the establishment of a library of micromolded elastomeric micropost arrays to
modulate substrate rigidity independently of effects on adhesive and other material surface …

Microenvironments appear important in stem cell lineage specification but can be difficult to
adequately characterize or control with soft tissues. Naive mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) …

Cell migration is a highly integrated multistep process that orchestrates embryonic
morphogenesis; contributes to tissue repair and regeneration; and drives disease …

Cell migration plays a major role in many fundamental biological processes, such as
morphogenesis, tumor metastasis, and wound healing. As they anchor and pull on their …

Fundamental biological processes including morphogenesis, tissue repair and tumour
metastasis require collective cell motions,,, and to drive these motions cells exert traction …

The ability to control cell volume is pivotal for cell function. Cell volume perturbation elicits a
wide array of signaling events, leading to protective (eg, cytoskeletal rearrangement) and …

Since RGD peptides (R: arginine; G: glycine; D: aspartic acid) have been found to promote
cell adhesion in 1984 (Cell attachment activity of fibronectin can be duplicated by small …

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 …
