Cellular mechanotransduction, a critical regulator of numerous biological processes, is the
conversion from mechanical signals to biochemical signals regarding cell activities and …

Scars caused by skin injuries after burns, wounds, abrasions and operations have serious
physical and psychological effects on patients. In recent years, the research of scar free …

Salivary gland (SG) dysfunction impairs the life quality of many patients, such as patients
with radiation therapy for head and neck cancer and patients with Sjögren's syndrome …

In tissue formation and repair, the epithelium undergoes complex patterns of motion driven
by the active forces produced by each cell. Although the principles governing how the forces …

Cells communicate with each other to jointly regulate cellular processes during cellular
differentiation and tissue morphogenesis. This multiscale coordination arises through the …

DNA-based tension sensors have innovated the imaging and calibration of
mechanosensitive receptor-transmitted molecular forces, such as integrin tensions …

Many morphogenesis processes during embryo development are fundamentally
biomechanical processes, and disruption of these events can lead to debilitating congenital …

Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) are a type of mesenchymal stem cells derived from dental
pulp that serves as an important model for investigating biological regeneration. DPSCs …

Mechanical forces are a critical stimulus in both native and engineered tissues. Direct
measurement of these microenvironmental forces has been challenging, particularly for cell …

Biophysical factors play a fundamental role in human embryonic development. Traditional in
