Biomimetic water-based lubrication: an exploration into vesicle lubrication
The replacement of oil-based lubricants with water-based lubricants has been a desirable yet unrealised ambition in Tribology. The use of bio-lubricants has been previously explored; however limited advances have been achieved. Most work has focused on traditional mechanisms, with biomolecules being used to form friction reducing surface films. However,

This review examines how cellular behavior is regulated by mechanical cues transmitted through soft biomaterials, from single‐cell mechanosensing to tissue‐level adaptation. It highlights why physiological relevance, rather than model complexity alone, is critical for translational mechanobiology and introduces a scoring framework linking material ...
