Artery‐on‐Chip Demonstrates Mechanical and Functional Features of Healthy and Diseased Living Smooth Muscle Tissue

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 59, 23 July 2026.
This article details the development of an artery‐on‐chip platform for in vitro arterial disease modeling and therapeutic discovery. It describes the fabrication of a fibrin biomaterial scaffold seeded with iPSC‐derived smooth muscle and endothelial cells, mimicking native artery properties. Two genetic disease models showcase the platform's ability to

Molecular elucidations of hutchinson-gilford progeria syndrome: A hope for managing horrors of premature aging in children

Pakistan Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2020
Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (or Progeria) is an exceptionally rare genetic disorder in children. It is caused by a rare point mutation in the lamin gene. It encodes lamin A protein, resulting in the de-shaping of nuclear membrane.

Multiscale Architecture and Mechanics of the Cell Nucleus: Implications for Disease, Bioengineering and Nanomedicine

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 37, 3 July 2026.
Nuclear mechanical properties are inherently scale‐dependent, arising from a hierarchical architecture that spans DNA, chromatin, the nuclear envelope, and condensates. Experimental techniques and theoretical models are integrated into a cohesive multiscale framework linking nanoscale structural features to organelle‐level mechanical behavior.

Nuclear dysfunction in aging and neurodegeneration

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by a loss of neuronal function and structure, often in a region‐specific manner. Multiple factors contribute to neuronal dysfunction and death, including pathogenic protein buildup, protein mislocalization, and inflammation. Despite extensive research, the common mechanisms driving neurodegeneration

Cellular Senescence and Aging: Mechanisms, Disease Convergence, and Therapeutic Frontiers

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2026.
This schematic illustrates the hierarchical and interconnected nature of the primary molecular hallmarks of aging. The progression of aging is driven by a convergence of intrinsic molecular insults. Within the nucleus, genomic instability and telomere attrition trigger persistent DDR, accompanied by extensive epigenetic alterations.

Single Cell Mechanics in Disease Progression

Small Science, Volume 6, Issue 7, July 2026.
Cells transmit distinct mechanical forces through ECM adhesion and cell–cell junctions and actomyosin‐generated traction forces are transmitted to the substrate through integrin‐based focal adhesions. Mechanical signals are further transmitted to the nucleus via the LINC complex, connecting the cytoskeleton to the nuclear lamina. These forces integrate
