Stem cell mechanobiology [PDF]
Journal of Cellular Biochemistry, 2011 AbstractStem cells are undifferentiated cells that are capable of proliferation, self‐maintenance and differentiation towards specific cell phenotypes. These processes are controlled by a variety of cues including physicochemical factors associated with the specific mechanical environment in which the cells reside.

Mechanobiology of portal hypertension [PDF]
JHEP Reports, 2023 The interplay between mechanical stimuli and cellular mechanobiology orchestrates the physiology of tissues and organs in a dynamic balance characterized by constant remodelling and adaptative processes. Environmental mechanical properties can be interpreted as a complex set of information and instructions that cells read continuously, and to which ...

The Mechanobiology of Aging [PDF]
Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering, 2015 Aging is a complex, multifaceted process that induces a myriad of physiological changes over an extended period of time. Aging is accompanied by major biochemical and biomechanical changes at macroscopic and microscopic length scales that affect not only tissues and organs but also cells and subcellular organelles.

Actomyosin contractility as a mechanical checkpoint for cell state transitions
Scientific Reports, 2022 Cell state transitions induced by mechano-chemical cues result in a heterogeneous population of cell states. While much of the work towards understanding the origins of such heterogeneity has focused on the gene regulatory mechanisms, the contribution of

Enhanced tumor cell killing by ultrasound after microtubule depolymerization
Bioengineering & Translational Medicine, 2021 Recent studies show that tumor cells are vulnerable to mechanical stresses and undergo calcium‐dependent apoptosis (mechanoptosis) with mechanical perturbation by low‐frequency ultrasound alone.
