The three interacting components of the outer blood-retinal barrier are the retinal pigment
epithelium (RPE), choriocapillaris, and Bruch's membrane, the extracellular matrix that lies …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have the capacity to differentiate into multiple lineages
including osteogenic and adipogenic lineages. An increasing number of studies have …

Integrin adhesions are a structurally and functionally diverse family of transmembrane, multi-
protein complexes that link the intracellular cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix (ECM) …

Human organotypic and organoid cultures provide increasingly life‐like models of
tissue/organ development and disease, enable more realistic drug screening, and may …

Hybrid biomimetic hydrogels with enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS)‐generation
efficiency under 600 nm light show high antibacterial activity. The hybrid gels are composed …

Abstract Purpose of Review Osteocytes comprise> 95% of the cellular component in bone
tissue and produce a wide range of cytokines and cellular signaling molecules in response …

Cells are physically contacting with each other. Direct and precise quantification of forces at
cell–cell junctions is still challenging. Herein, we have developed a DNA-based ratiometric …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a macromolecular network that can provide biochemical
and structural support for cell adhesion and formation. It regulates cell behavior by …

Mechanical loading preserves bone mass and function—yet, little is known about the cell
biological basis behind this preservation. For example, cell and nucleus morphology are …

Mechanical forces regulate a diverse set of biological processes at cellular, tissue, and
organismal length scales. Investigating the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie …
