Engineering Extracellular Vesicle Production Through Magnetic Ion Channel Activation for Bone Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Magnetic Ion Channel Activation (MICA) enables remote stimulation of mechanosensitive ion channels using functionalised magnetic nanoparticles, enhancing extracellular vesicle (EV) biogenesis is pre‐osteoblasts. MICA desrived EVs exhibit typical nano‐vesicular characteristics but display superior pro‐osteogeneic activity, promoting mesenchymal stem ...

Revealing the biophysics of lamina-associated domain formation by integrating theoretical modeling and high-resolution imaging

open access: yesNature Communications
Chromatin-lamina interactions regulate gene activity by forming lamina-associated domains (LADs), which contribute to cellular identity through gene repression.

Mechanobiology: Shaping the future of cellular form and function.

open access: yesCell
Mechanobiology-the field studying how cells produce, sense, and respond to mechanical forces-is pivotal in the analysis of how cells and tissues take shape in development and disease.

Osteosarcoma mechanobiology and therapeutic targets

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, 2021
Osteosarcoma is one of the most common primary tumours of the bone, with a 5‐year survival rate of less than 20% after the development of metastases. Osteosarcoma is highly predisposed in Paget's disease of the bone, and both have common characteristic ...

Wound Geometry Determines Whether Aligned‐Fiber Scaffolds Accelerate or Impede Diabetic Wound Healing: A Biased Random Walk Analysis

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Wound closure is governed by geometry‐orientation coupling: aligned fibers speed migration along their axis but hinder perpendicular advance. In vivo diabetic wound experiments with composition‐matched fibrin, combined with an anisotropic diffusion (biased random‐walk) model, quantify this trade‐off and generate a healing landscape.

Integrin-Matrix Clusters Form Podosome-like Adhesions in the Absence of Traction Forces

open access: yesCell Reports, 2013
Matrix-activated integrins can form different adhesion structures. We report that nontransformed fibroblasts develop podosome-like adhesions when spread on fluid Arg-Gly-Asp peptide (RGD)-lipid surfaces, whereas they habitually form focal adhesions on ...

Three scales asymptotic homogenization and its application to layered hierarchical hard tissues [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In the present work a novel multiple scales asymptotic homogenization approach is proposed to study the effective properties of hierarchical composites with periodic structure at different length scales.

Microengineered Gradient Hydrogels for Mechanobiology

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Gradient hydrogels are used to mimic the mechanical heterogeneity in native tissues, offering powerful in vitro platforms to study cell‐material interactions in diverse pathophysiological contexts. Here, we present a comprehensive review of the design and experimental considerations for stiffness gradient hydrogels, discussing exemplary achievements ...
