The cross-talk between stem cells and their microenvironment has been shown to have a
direct impact on stem cells' decisions about proliferation, growth, migration, and …

Mechanical properties are fundamental properties of the cells and tissues of living
organisms. The mechanical properties of a single cell as a biocomposite are determined by …

Currently, cancer diagnosis relies mostly on morphological examination of exfoliated,
aspirated cells or surgically removed tissue. As long as standard diagnosis is concerned …

Resorting to a multiphase modelling framework, tumours are described here as a mixture of
tumour and host cells within a porous structure constituted by a remodelling extracellular …

The mechanical rigidity of cells and adhesion forces between cells are important in various
biological processes, including cell differentiation, proliferation and tissue organization …

Collective cell migration plays an important role during wound healing and embryo
development. Although the exact mechanisms that coordinate such migration are still …

Tumour cells usually live in an environment formed by other host cells, extra-cellular matrix
and extra-cellular liquid. Cells duplicate, reorganise and deform while binding each other …

Eukaryotic cells and biological materials are described from a rheological point of view.
Single cells possess typical microrheological properties which can affect cell behaviour, in …

Constrained layer dampers (CLD) are in widespread use for passive vibration damping, in
applications including aerospace structures. However, the introducing of the damping layer …

Living cells are complex entities whose remarkable, emergent capacity to sense, integrate,
and respond to environmental cues relies on an intricate series of interactions among the …
