Evidence from physical sciences in oncology increasingly suggests that the interplay
between the biophysical tumor microenvironment and genetic regulation has significant …

Mechanobiology studies the mechanisms by which cells sense and respond to physical
forces, and the role of these forces in shaping cells and tissues themselves …

The field of bioimage analysis is poised for a major transformation, owing to advancements
in imaging technologies and artificial intelligence. The emergence of multimodal foundation …

Plant cells can be distinguished from animal cells by their cell walls and high-turgor
pressure. Although changes in turgor and the stiffness of cell walls seem coordinated, we …

Brillouin microscopy is a technique for mechanical characterization of biological material
without contact at high three-dimensional resolution. Here, we introduce dual line-scanning …

Drs. Paul L. Kaufman, Albert Alm, Leonard A Levin, Siv FE Nilsson, James Ver Hoeve, and
Samuel Wu present the 11th Edition of the classic text Adler's Physiology of the Eye …

Maintaining and modulating mechanical anisotropy is essential for biological processes.
However, how this is achieved at the microscopic scale in living soft matter is not always …

Brillouin microscopy can assess mechanical properties of biological samples in a three-
dimensional (3D), all-optical and hence non-contact fashion, but its weak signals often lead …

The ability of cells to generate mechanical forces, but also to sense, adapt to, and respond to
mechanical signals, is crucial for many developmental, postnatal homeostatic, and …

Quantitative measurements of physical parameters become increasingly important for
understanding biological processes. Brillouin microscopy (BM) has recently emerged as one …
