Mechanical properties of extracellular matrices (ECMs) regulate essential cell behaviours,
including differentiation, migration and proliferation, through mechanotransduction. Studies …

Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) describes a family of powerful imaging
techniques that dramatically improve spatial resolution over standard, diffraction-limited …

How cells sense tissue stiffness to guide cell migration is a fundamental question in
development, fibrosis and cancer. Although durotaxis—cell migration towards increasing …

Proper immune responses are critical for successful biomaterial implantation. Here, four
scales of honeycomb-like TiO2 structures were custom made on titanium (Ti) substrates to …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a highly dynamic system that constantly offers physical,
biological, and chemical signals to embraced cells. Increasing evidence suggests that …

Super-resolution microscopy techniques, and specifically single-molecule localization
microscopy (SMLM), are approaching nanometer resolution inside cells and thus have great …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) constitutes the scaffold of tissues and organs. It is a complex
network of extracellular proteins, proteoglycans and glycoproteins, which form …

Super-resolution microscopy has overcome a long-held resolution barrier—the diffraction
limit—in light microscopy and enabled visualization of previously invisible molecular details …

In this review, we highlight the importance of nanostructure of cellulose-based biomaterials
to allow cellular adhesion, the contribution of nanostructure to macroscale mechanical …

Cells of the innate immune system, notably macrophages, neutrophils and dendritic cells,
perform essential antimicrobial and homeostatic functions. These functions rely on the …
