Advanced Science, EarlyView.Cyclic stretching of fibroblasts triggers coordinated nuclear mechanosensing events, including calcium ion release, perinuclear actin assembly, emerin translocation, and H3K9me3 loss, increasing chromatin accessibility for specific genes related to mechanotransduction and repair.

Role of elastin anisotropy in structural strain energy functions of arterial tissue [PDF]
, 2018 The vascular wall exhibits nonlinear anisotropic mechanical properties. The identification of a strain energy function (SEF) is the preferred method to describe its complex nonlinear elastic properties. Earlier constituent-based SEF models, where elastin

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Cysteine‐tagged silk‐elastin‐like proteins, a family of tri‐block chimeric proteins that consist of a photothermal agent binding motif, silk motif, and elastin motif is developed to form a responsive in situ hydrogel for late‐stage and metastatic triple‐negative breast cancer.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Gli1+ adventitial stem cells (ASCs) have been thought to generate smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in atherosclerosis. Using a dual‐recombinase lineage tracing to exclude ectopic labeling, Wang et al. found that Gli1+ ASCs do not contribute to SMCs in atherosclerotic plaques.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A bioorthogonal rhodamine/PEG crosslinking strategy is introduced to engineer dense collagen hydrogels with high mechanical resilience and cytocompatibility. Integration with wet‐spinning enables the fabrication of uniaxially aligned, cell‐laden collagen filaments that activate mechanotransductive signaling and support functional muscle regeneration in
