Cell migration results from stepwise mechanical and chemical interactions between cells
and their extracellular environment. Mechanistic principles that determine single-cell and …

Cell–matrix adhesion and cell–cell contacts are essential for the metabolism, protein
synthesis, survival, and cancer metastasis of cells. Major transmembrane receptors are the …

The fundamental mechanisms of complex neural computation remain largely unknown,
especially in respect to the characteristics of distinct neural circuits within the mammalian …

Mechanotransduction, the mechanism by which mechanical perturbation influences genetic
expression and cellular behavior, is an area of molecular biology undergoing rapid …

The spatial boundary condition (SBC) arising from the surrounding microenvironment
imposes specific geometry and spatial constraints that affect organogenesis and tissue …

Over the last century, medicine has come out of the" black bag" and emerged as one of the
most dynamic and advanced fields of development in science and technology. Today …

The mechanisms underlying collective migration are important for understanding
development, wound healing, and tumor invasion. Here we focus on cell density to …

The alignment and blend of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins give a tissue its specific
mechanical properties as well as its physiological function. Various tissue engineering …

This short review provides an important perspective on soft tissue manipulation/mobilization
(STM) as a powerful and direct form of mechanotherapy, which has significant implications …

Endothelial cell (EC) morphology and functions can be highly impacted by the mechanical
stresses that the cells experience in vivo. In most areas in the vasculature, ECs are …
