A stem cell in its microenvironment is subjected to a myriad of soluble chemical cues and
mechanical forces that act in concert to orchestrate cell fate. Intuitively, many of these …

In 2020, nearly 107,000 people in the US needed a lifesaving organ transplant, but due to a
limited number of donors, only∼ 35% of them have actually received it. Thus, successful bio …

In the emerging field of 3D bioprinting, cell damage due to large deformations is considered
a main cause for cell death and loss of functionality inside the printed construct. Those …

Ultrafast fiber lasers, with their distinct features of high stability, superior beam quality,
compactness and power scalability have revolutionized a variety of applications, ranging …

Extracellular matrix (ECM) properties affect multiple cellular processes such as cell survival,
proliferation, and protein synthesis. Thus, a polymeric‐cell delivery system with the ability to …

Mechanical factors play critical roles in mammalian development. Here, we report that
colony-growing mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) generate significant tension on the …

In vitro cell culture or tissue models that mimic in vivo cellular response have potential in
tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, and are a more economical and accurate …

The artificial neural network (ANN) based models have shown the potential to provide
alternate data-driven solutions in disease diagnostics, cell sorting and overcoming AFM …

Stem cell products, including manufactured red blood cells, require efficient sorting and
purification methods to remove components potentially harmful for clinical application …

In general, cells are cultured and adapted to the in vitro rigidities of plastic or glass ranging
between 1 and 10 GPa, which is very far from physiological values that are mostly in the …
