Impelled by the need to find solutions to new challenges of modern technologies new
materials with unique properties are being explored. Among various new materials that …

Tight coupling between biochemical and mechanical properties of the actin cytoskeleton
drives a large range of cellular processes including polarity establishment, morphogenesis …

The biological effects of high-gradient magnetic fields (HGMFs) have steadily gained the
increased attention of researchers from different disciplines, such as cell biology, cell …

The plasma membrane is of central importance in the motility process. It defines the
boundary separating the intracellular and extracellular environments, and mediates the …

Migration of meiosis-I (MI) spindle from the cell center to a sub-cortical location is a critical
step for mouse oocytes to undergo asymmetric meiotic cell division. In this study, we …

A general interest in biomagnetic effects is related to fundamental studies of the influence of
magnetic fields on living objects on the cellular and whole organism levels. Emerging …

Actin filaments play a fundamental role in cell mechanics: assembled into networks by a
large number of partners, they ensure cell integrity, deformability, and migration. Here we …

During apoptosis, dying cells undergo dynamic morphological changes that ultimately lead
to their disassembly into fragments called apoptotic bodies (ApoBDs). Reorganisation of the …

Understanding pairwise interactions between colloidal particles out of equilibrium has a
profound impact on dynamical processes such as colloidal self assembly. However …

In the present study, we monitored the conformation and chemical stability of a hydrophilic
bottlebrush (BB) polymer in pure water and buffered saline solutions. We correlated these …
