Elastic Energy Storage in Biological Materials: Internal Stresses and Their Functionality

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Harnessing and storing internally generated elastic energy is a clever strategy by biological materials to perform functions like shape transformation, movement, and predation. This review explores how biological systems manipulate mechanisms like atomic or protein integration into minerals, protein conformational shifts, phase transitions, and osmotic

Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy in Bionanotechnology: Current Advances and Future Perspectives

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) enables the nanoscale mapping of electrostatic surface potentials. While widely applied in materials science, its use in biological systems remains emerging. This review presents recent advances in KPFM applied to biological samples and provides a critical perspective on current limitations and future directions for

Engineering Aging: Approaches to Model and Deconstruct Biological Complexity

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
The macro‐experiences of aging are the result of an accumulation of micro‐changes that occur over time. Abstract The disparity between the global increase in life expectancy and the steady decline in health outcomes with age has been a major driver for developing new ways to research aging.

Sonography of pathological changes in the hand

open access: yesJournal of Ultrasonography, 2014
Everyday medical practice shows that most common problems within the hand result from overload, injuries and degeneration. Dorsal side pathologies such as de Quervain’s and Wartenberg’s disease, intersection syndrome or degenerative lesions of ...

Live Quantitative Characterization for Stem Cell Biomechanics

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
These findings demonstrate an accessible technique for real‐time, high‐resolution mechanical mapping of live stem cells, without the use of specialised probes or advanced modelling techniques. This approach provides direct insight into localised cytoskeletal dynamics under chemical treatment and holds potential for broader application in understanding ...
