Dynamic Physicochemical Gradients for Tendon–Bone Regeneration

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Dynamic physicochemical gradients offer a framework for reconnecting soft tendon and hard bone. This Review examines how hydration, transport, loading and degradation reshape these gradients during healing. Coordinating regional biological cues with progressive transfer of load from scaffold to tissue guides the design of interfaces that retain ...

Hydrogel‐Based Method for High‐Resolution Measurements of Contact Mechanics in Rapid Biological Adhesives: A Case Study in Cuttlefish Tentacle Strikes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cuttlefish and squid can catch their prey within milliseconds using specialized tentacles and suckers. The physics of how the suckers can attach so quickly has remained a mystery given the technical challenges of studying them in vivo. In this publication, we develop a hydrogel that retains imprints of the suckers in order to estimate the forces they ...

High‐Modulus Skeleton‐Reinforced PDMS Microstamps for Precision Transfer Printing of Microscale Devices

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Elastomeric micropillars bend under contact loading, sliding microscale devices out of alignment during transfer printing. A hybrid PDMS stamp embeds a high‐modulus skeleton within each pillar while retaining a compliant contact surface. The reinforcement confines pillar deformation, suppressing interfacial sliding and preserving array registration on ...

Fluid shear stress and tumor metastasis.

American journal of cancer research
The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a key factor regulating tumor cell invasion and metastasis. The effects of biochemical factors such as stromal cells, immune cells, and cytokines have been previously investigated. Owing to restrictions by the natural barrier between physical and biochemical disciplines, the role of physical factors in tumorigenesis ...
