Effective governing equations for poroelastic growing media [PDF]
, 2014 A new mathematical model is developed for the macroscopic behaviour of a porous, linear elastic solid, saturated with a slowly flowing incompressible, viscous fluid, with surface accretion of the solid phase.

Myosin IIA and formin dependent mechanosensitivity of filopodia adhesion
Nature Communications, 2019 Fiolopodia are involved in cell migration and their attachment to the ECM is mediated by integrin receptors. Here the authors show that myosin X induced filipodia adhesion to fibronectin requires activity of myosin IIA at the filopodium base and formin ...

Biology 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 ...

Integration of substrate- and flow-derived stresses in endothelial cell mechanobiology
Communications Biology, 2021 Endothelial cells (ECs) lining all blood vessels are subjected to large mechanical stresses that regulate their structure and function in health and disease. Here, we review EC responses to substrate-derived biophysical cues, namely topography, curvature,

Non-canonical activation of OmpR drives acid and osmotic stress responses in single bacterial cells
Nature Communications, 2017 OmpR is a transcription factor activated in acid and osmotic responses of Gram-negative bacteria, leading to acidification of the bacterial cytoplasm.

Can a continuous mineral foam explain the stiffening of aged bone tissue? A micromechanical approach to mineral fusion in musculoskeletal tissues [PDF]
, 2016 Recent experimental data revealed a stiffening of aged cortical bone tissue, which could not be explained by common multiscale elastic material models.

Squeezing the eggs to grow: The mechanobiology of mammalian folliculogenesis
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 The formation of functional eggs (oocyte) in ovarian follicles is arguably one of the most important events in early mammalian development since the oocytes provide the bulk genetic and cytoplasmic materials for successful reproduction.

Controlling 3D Contractility via Engineered Fibrous Hydrogel Composites
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A tunable composite contractile assembly (CCA) is developed that can permit or resist contraction without changing cell‐adhesion and density, unlike collagen whose inherent coupling of these ECM cues limits its use as a platform in contractility studies.
