Mechanical signalling affects multiple biological processes during development and in adult
organisms, including cell fate transitions, cell migration, morphogenesis and immune …

Precisely controlled cell deformations are key to cell migration, division and tissue
morphogenesis, and have been implicated in cell differentiation during development, as well …

INTRODUCTION Human beings are equipped with multiple senses (sight, hearing, smell,
taste, touch, and proprioception) to help them to react properly to their environment. The …

Cell–cell junctions are specializations of the plasma membrane responsible for physically
integrating cells into tissues. We are now beginning to appreciate the diverse impacts that …

Tissue morphogenesis, homoeostasis and repair require cells to constantly monitor their
three-dimensional microenvironment and adapt their behaviours in response to local …

This is an overview of theoretical approaches to semiflexible polymers and their networks.
Such semiflexible polymers have large bending rigidities that can compete with the entropic …

The ability of cells to sense external mechanical cues is essential for their adaptation to the
surrounding microenvironment. However, how nanoparticle mechanical properties affect cell …

Embryonic cells grow in environments that provide a plethora of physical cues, including
mechanical forces that shape the development of the entire embryo. Despite their …

Recent rapid progress in the field of mechanobiology has been driven by novel emerging
tools and methodologies and growing interest from different scientific disciplines. Specific …

Bone plates play a vital role in bone fracture healing by providing the necessary mechanical
fixation for fracture fragments through modulating biomechanical microenvironment adjacent …
