Biomimetic and Biophysical Approach to Profile Metastatic Cancer Cell Migration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Honors Research ScholarshipCancer metastasis is a complex process by which cells in a primary tumor acquire an aggressive phenotype, and travel to distant, secondary sites in the body.

Mechanobiology of Type 1 hypersensitivity: Elucidating the impacts of mechanical forces in allergic reactions

open access: yesMechanobiology in medicine
Type 1 hypersensitivity involves an exaggerated immune reaction triggered by allergen exposure, leading to rapid release of inflammatory mediators. Meanwhile, mechanobiology explores how physical forces influence cellular processes, and recent research ...

Nuclear Mechanotransduction Across the Metastatic Cascade: Decoding Spatiotemporal Heterogeneity in Cancer Dissemination

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Tumor metastasis results from complex interactions between cancer cells and mechanical microenvironments. We propose a “nucleus‐centered, cross‐stage mechanical signal decoding” model, highlighting how nuclear mechanosensors interpret forces at different stages.

The living aortic valve: From molecules to function. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The aortic valve lies in a unique hemodynamic environment, one characterized by a range of stresses (shear stress, bending forces, loading forces and strain) that vary in intensity and direction throughout the cardiac cycle.

Micropillars in Cell Mechanobiology: Design, Fabrication, Characterization, and Biosensing Applications

open access: yesSmall Science
Eukaryotic cells possess the remarkable ability to sense and respond to mechanical cues from their extracellular environment, a phenomenon known as mechanobiology, which is crucial for the proper functioning of biological systems.

A Dynamic 3D Human Liver Sinusoid Model for Mechanistic Interrogation of Fontan‐Associated Liver Disease

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a perfusable 3D bioengineered liver sinusoid platform that integrates biofabrication, 3D cell culture, controlled hemodynamics, and multiparametric characterization to model Fontan‐associated liver disease. By decoupling pressure and hypoxia effects, the system reveals early mechanobiological and profibrotic responses under ...

The asymptotic homogenization elasticity tensor properties for composites with material discontinuities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The classical asymptotic homogenization approach for linear elastic composites with discontinuous material properties is considered as a starting point. The sharp length scale separation between the fine periodic structure and the whole material formally

From sequence to mechanobiology? Promises and challenges for AlphaFold 3

open access: yesMechanobiology in medicine
Interactions between macromolecules orchestrate many mechanobiology processes. However, progress in the field has often been hindered by the monetary and time costs of obtaining reliable experimental structures.

Aligned Fibronectin Microenvironment Temporally Facilitates Profibrotic Fibroblast Activation via Integrin α5β1

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Compared to a healthy random nanofibrous fibronectin microenvironment, a fibrotic aligned nanofibrous fibronectin microenvironment employs a specific integrin, α5β1 integrin, to activate early pro‐fibrotic fibroblast behaviors and later fibrotic fibroblast tissue formation with cell/F‐actin alignment, α‐SMA expression, and cell‐driven aligned ...
