ATP inhibits the spontaneous contractility of atria in rats
, 2018 ATP is a multifunctional nucleotide. In recent years, strong evidence has accumulated that ATP may participate in intercellular signaling, where ATP acts as a cotransmitter.

Influence of cell contractility on de-adhesion dynamics.
, 2014 The effect of cell contractility on de-adhesion dynamics was studied for three contractility values: at the cell end, while keeping other parameters fixed.

Transient Cytoskeletal Anisotropy Encodes Short‐Term Mechanical Memory in Glioblastoma Cells
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.The same mechanical deformation can produce distinct cytoskeletal states depending on loading history. Experiments and constitutive modeling reveal that transient actin–vimentin anisotropy stores mechanical information and governs short‐term mechanical memory in glioblastoma cells.

Contractile Mechanisms in Flagella
Biophysical Journal, 1971 The elastic theory of flexural waves in thin rods accurately predicts the velocity of flagellar bending waves over a wide range of viscosities. This shows that flagella behave as a purely mechanical system for the transmission of these waves. An evaluation of the total bending moment reveals that this moment occurs in phase over the entire length of a ...

Analysis of heart contractility.
, 2013 Maximum value of the time derivative of LVP (dP/dtmax) was used as an indicator for cardiac contractility. In the I/R and DMSO groups, decrease in dP/dtmax is evident.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.We present elastomeric three‐dimensional (3D) microstructures fabricated via two‐photon polymerization (2PP) and post‐processed through wet etching, for quantifying nanonewton (nN)‐scale forces applied by healthy and diseased neural cells. The mechanically characterized free‐standing beam architectures enable measurement of traction forces of ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.We present SCIENCE, an in‐ear multimodal physiological monitor featuring two key innovations. Water‐triggered morphological expansion (a 2‐mm cylinder to a 9‐mm spindle) achieves conformal adaptation across complex canal geometries. Simultaneously, active biofouling mitigation disrupts cerumen barriers, reducing sensor‐skin impedance by 20%.

Motor-free contractility of active biopolymer networks
, 2022 Contractility in animal cells is often generated by molecular motors such as myosin, which require polar substrates for their function. Motivated by recent experimental evidence of motor-independent contractility, we propose a robust motor-free mechanism

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Cancer‐associated NPC remodeling creates a high‐flux, low‐stringency nuclear state that supports malignant adaptation but increases mechanical fragility. Targeting the FG‐barrier or NPC scaffold may drive mechanostat failure, envelope rupture, DNA damage, and loss of nuclear integrity.
