Extreme Silk Toughness in Caerostris Spiders Is Limited to Adult Females
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We ask whether species with exceptionally tough silk, like Caerostris bark spiders, show different developmental patterns in silk toughness between ontogenetic stages and sexes. We found that only large females produce exceptionally tough silk with higher initial stiffness, while juvenile females as well as adult and juvenile males produce inferior ...

Mechanobiology in Stem Cell‐Based Bioprinting
Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.Mechanobiology in stem cell‐based bioprinting is an emerging field that bridges the mechanical conditions of the bioprinting process with the regulation of stem cell behaviour for engineering living tissues. Stresses encountered during bioprinting, together with the mechanical properties of bioinks, play a critical role in regulating stem cell ...
