Mechanobiology-informed regenerative medicine: dose-controlled release of placental growth factor from a functionalized collagen-based scaffold promotes angiogenesis and accelerates bone defect healing

open access: yes, 2022
Leveraging the differential response of genes to mechanical loading may allow for the identification of novel therapeutics and we have recently established placental growth factor (PGF) as a mechanically augmented gene which promotes angiogenesis at ...

Myosin 1E localizes to actin polymerization sites in lamellipodia, affecting actin dynamics and adhesion formation

open access: yesBiology Open, 2013
Summary Because the actin network in active lamellipodia is continuously assembling at the edge, moving inward and disassembling, there is a question as to how actin-binding proteins and other components are transported to the leading edge and how ...

Active biomaterials for mechanobiology

open access: yesBiomaterials, 2021
Active biomaterials offer novel approaches to study mechanotransduction in mammalian cells. These material systems probe cellular responses by dynamically modulating their resistance to endogenous forces or applying exogenous forces on cells in a temporally controlled manner.

Orthopedic Mechanophenotype: A Structured Narrative Review of Multiscale Biomechanics, Mechanotransduction, and Clinical Decision-Making. [PDF]

open access: yesOrthop Surg
The orthopedic mechanophenotype framework comprises load exposure, tissue susceptibility, and biological adaptability axes to decode mechanical‐biological crosstalk. It guides clinical phenotyping, targeted intervention, and response monitoring for orthopedic disorders beyond static morphological assessment.

Mechanobiology

open access: yesInternational Journal For Multidisciplinary Research
Mechanobiology is an emerging field of multidisciplinary research studying how the physical properties of the cell environment and mechanical loads regulate biological processes at the cellular, tissue, and molecular levels. It adopts ideas from physics, biology, and engineering to comprehend how cells sense, translate, and respond to mechanical ...
