Polymer model integrates imaging and sequencing to reveal how nanoscale heterochromatin domains influence gene expression

Nature Communications
Chromatin organization regulates gene expression, with nanoscale heterochromatin domains playing a fundamental role. Their size varies with microenvironmental stiffness and epigenetic interventions, but how these factors regulate their formation and ...

From senescence and inflammaging to systemic comorbidities: Drivers of aging‐associated periodontitis

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Aging is accompanied by a chronic low‐grade inflammatory process, known as inflammaging, as well as immunosenescence, an age‐related decline and dysregulation of immune function, and cellular senescence, a process in which cells enter a state of irreversible growth arrest while actively releasing pro‐inflammatory factors.

Vascular smooth muscle cell mechanotransduction: Pathways, phenotypes and emerging technologies

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Vascular smooth muscle cells are exposed to mechanical stimuli from the blood flow and the extracellular matrix. The cells sense the signals from cyclic stretch, shear stress, hydrostatic pressure and matrix stiffness through specialized mechanosensors, such as mechanosensitive ion channels or cell surface receptors including ...

Coordinated regulation of PIEZO2 by alternative splicing, post‐translational modification, membrane trafficking and protein partners

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Regulatory mechanisms such as alternative splicing, post‐translational modification, membrane trafficking, and protein interactions control channel gating, membrane abundance, and overall activity of PIEZO2. Proper regulation supports PIEZO2‐dependent proprioceptive, somatosensory, nociceptive, pruriceptive and interoceptive ...

Semi‐Automated μCT‐Based Modeling of Vertebral Bony Endplate Microporosity and Mechanical Properties: Linking Microstructure to Inferred Mechanical Performance

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The vertebral bony endplate (BEP) plays a role in regulating both mechanical load transfer and nutrient transport to the intervertebral disc, functions strongly influenced by its microstructural porosity. Variations in porosity impact bone strength, elasticity, and solute diffusion, affecting its overall mechanical competence ...

Mechanomemory after short episodes of intermittent stresses induces YAP translocation via increasing F-actin

APL Bioengineering
How forces and mechanics influence and regulate living cells remains elusive. Mechanomemory, the response to a mechanical perturbation that persists after the perturbation is removed, is believed to be a key to understanding the impact of forces and ...

Surviving the Nucleus Pulposus Desert: Next‐Generation Strategies for Intervertebral Disc Cell Therapy

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACTBackgroundLow back pain remains the leading cause of disability worldwide, with intervertebral disc degeneration representing a major biological contributor. Although cell‐based therapies have shown promise in preclinical models, clinical translation has yielded modest and inconsistent outcomes.

CPTCs Drive Somatic‐Visceral Communication via the Wnt Axis in Somatic Mechanotherapy: A Single‐Cell Deep Learning Study

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 15, 15 August 2026.
Using an interpretable deep learning framework (CARSS) applied to multi‐tissue single‐cell RNA sequencing, we identify CD34⁺PDGFRα⁺ telocytes (CPTCs) as the primary mechanosensors bridging somatic acupuncture stimulation and visceral repair. Mechanical force at acupoints activates an AP‐1/Hsp70 immediate‐early gene program in fascial CPTCs, triggering ...

Pull‐and‐Push Nanotherapeutic Hydrogels: Scavenging Inflammatory Triggers While Driving Tissue Regeneration in Burn Wounds

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 63, 6 August 2026.
A nanounit‐assembled hydrogel employing a “pull‐and‐push” strategy simultaneously scavenges pro‐inflammatory cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) and delivers regenerative therapeutics in response to burn‐induced hyperthermia. By repolarizing macrophages and promoting angiogenesis, this multifunctional platform accelerates burn wound healing, offering a blueprint for
