The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a highly dynamic system that constantly offers physical,
biological, and chemical signals to embraced cells. Increasing evidence suggests that …

One of the major issues in tissue engineering is regulation of stem cell differentiation toward
specific lineages. Unlike biological and chemical signals, physical signals with adjustable …

Bone fractures are often companied with poor bone healing and high rates of infection. Early
recruitment of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is critical for initiating efficient bone repair …

Biofilms have been related to the persistence of infections on medical implants, and these
cannot be eradicated because of the resistance of biofilm structures. Therefore, a …

During mesenchymal development, the sources of mechanical forces transduced by cells
transition over time from predominantly cell-cell interactions to predominantly cell …

Cell behaviors are influenced by the surrounding dynamic microenvironment where the
extracellular matrix (ECM) composed of different micro/nano-structures plays a key role …

The cell microenvironment choreographs the behaviors of cells through multiple well-
controlled signals. For basic biological study and cell-based therapies, it is essential to …

The receptor–ligand interactions in cells are dynamically regulated by modulation of the
ligand accessibility. In this study, we utilize size-tunable magnetic nanoparticle aggregates …

Extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins containing cell‐attachable Arg‐Gly‐Asp (RGD)
sequences exhibit variable bridging and non‐bridging in fibronectin‐collagen and laminin …

Biomedical patches are considered as a promising strategy to help tissue repair and
regeneration, prevent tissue adhesion, and reduce neighboring friction. Here, novel …
