Extracellular matrix (ECM) cues have been widely investigated for their impact on cellular
behavior. Among mechanics, physics, chemistry, and topography, different ECM properties …

Cancer cell invasion through physical barriers in the extracellular matrix (ECM) requires a
complex synergy of traction force against the ECM, mechanosensitive feedback, and …

Chronic pulmonary diseases, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), pulmonary
hypertension (PH), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), account for …

The ideal scaffold for bone repair should have a hierarchical pore structure and gradient
degradation performance to satisfy the uniform adhesion and proliferation of cells in the …

Cells respond to their environments and self-organise into multicellular assemblies with
dedicated functions. The migratory and homing response of cells to soluble ligands can be …

This paper approaches two main philosophical questions concerning the biological
structures, from unicellular to multicellular organisms: one of them (i), referred to the …

There is no doubt that there are increased benefits of hormonal therapy to breast cancer
patients; however, current evidence suggests that estrogen receptor (ER) blockage using …

We point out that the origin of life cannot be understood without a closer look at the nature of
life. Therefore we present here, for the first time, ten fundamental biological facts opening …

We present an innovative and simple, soft UV lithographic method “FIll‐Molding In
Capillaries”(FIMIC) that combines soft lithography with capillary force driven filling of micro …

The engineering of surface patterns is a powerful tool for analyzing cellular communication
factors involved in the processes of adhesion, migration, and expansion, which can have a …
