Surface charge on biomaterials is emerging as a crucial determinant of regulating cells
responses impacting cells signaling in tissue treatment. The dynamic cell-material …

Numerous studies have focused on identifying the chemical and biological factors that
govern the differentiation of stem cells; however, recent research has shown that mechanical …

Phagocytes clear the body of undesirable particles such as infectious agents and debris. To
extend pseudopods over the surface of targeted particles during engulfment, cells must …

We report the ability of cellulose to support cells without the use of matrix ligands on the
surface of the material, thus creating a two-component system for tissue engineering of cells …

Recent exciting findings of the biological interactions of graphene materials have shed light
on potential biomedical applications of graphene-containing composites. Fabrication of bulk …

Collagen hydrogels have been widely investigated as scaffolds for vascular tissue
engineering due in part to the capacity of collagen to promote robust cell adhesion and …

Collective cell migration is an important feature of wound healing, as well as embryonic and
tumor development. The origin of collective cell migration is mainly intercellular interactions …

It is well known that substrate properties like stiffness and adhesivity influence stem cell
morphology and differentiation. Recent experiments show that cell morphology influences …

The spreading area of cells has been shown to play a central role in the determination of cell
fate and tissue morphogenesis; however, a clear understanding of how spread cell area is …

Combining surface chemical modification of cellulose to introduce positively charged
trimethylammonium groups by reaction with glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride (GTMAC) …
