Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This review examines how cellular behavior is regulated by mechanical cues transmitted through soft biomaterials, from single‐cell mechanosensing to tissue‐level adaptation. It highlights why physiological relevance, rather than model complexity alone, is critical for translational mechanobiology and introduces a scoring framework linking material ...

DNA Nanostar Structures with Tunable Auxetic Properties
Molecular Systems Design & Engineering, 2023 ABSTRACT Auxetic structures are unique with a negative Poisson’s ratio. Unlike regular materials, they response to external loading with simultaneous expansion or compression in all directions, rendering powerful properties advantageous in diverse applications from manufacturing to space engineering. The auxetic behaviors are determined

Cellular Auxetic Structures for Mechanical Metamaterials: A Review [PDF]
Sensors, 2020 Recent advances in lithography technology and the spread of 3D printers allow us a facile fabrication of special materials with complicated microstructures. The materials are called “designed materials” or “architectured materials” and provide new opportunities for material development.
