Double Sided Traction Force Microscopy: A Method to Confine Cells for Physiologically Relevant Force Measurements

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper we describe a technique to make a confined environment of variable stiffness that is suitable for high‐resolution live‐cell imaging. This versatile and adaptable technique enables cell confinement between soft elastic surfaces made from polyacrylamide gels.

Talin1 Adhesion Morphology and Colocalization With Tensin3 Are Largely Unaffected by Polyacrylamide Substrate Stiffness

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cells sense the stiffness of their extracellular matrix (ECM) and adapt their behavior accordingly. We investigated how ECM stiffness affects the spatial organization of talin1, a key mechanosensitive focal adhesion protein. Using polyacrylamide (PA) hydrogels with tunable stiffnesses (0.2–188 kPa), we analyzed cell morphology, migration ...

Whole tissue imaging of cellular boundaries at sub‐micron resolutions for deep learning cell segmentation: Applications in the analysis of epithelial bending of ectoderm

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background To understand cellular morphology, biologists have relied on traditional optical microscopy of tissues combined with tissue clearing protocols to image structures deep within tissues. Unfortunately, these protocols often struggle to retain cell boundary markers, especially at high enough resolutions necessary for precise cell ...

Light–Moisture Coupling for Enhanced Energy Harvesting

open access: yesEcoEnergy, EarlyView.
Light–moisture coupling energy‐harvesting devices exhibit improved power output and long‐term stability by continuously consuming accumulated protons via photogenerated carriers, thereby dynamically reconstructing ion concentration gradients during operation.

Engineered Metal–Organic Frameworks‐Based Materials for Environmental Detection

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Engineered metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) regulated by various material modification strategies are discussed for environmental contaminant detection under different sensing mechanisms, providing future improvements of MOFs in environmental detection. Sensitive and selective detection of contaminants is crucial for environmental protection.

Electronic Synergy in NiCo‐Embedded Nitrogen‐Doped Hollow Mesoporous Carbon Spheres for Bifunctional Oxygen Catalysis and Zinc–Air Batteries

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This study employs a hard‐templating etching strategy to synthesize N‐doped hollow mesoporous carbon spheres embedded with NiCo nanoparticles (denoted as NiCo@N‐HMCS). The optimized catalyst exhibits exceptional bifunctional catalytic activity for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline media, achieving a ...
