The mechanisms for maintaining oral cavity homeostasis are subject to the constant
influence of many environmental factors, including various chemicals and microorganisms …

Cancer progression is associated with extensive remodeling of the tumor microenvironment
(TME), resulting in alterations of biochemical and biophysical cues that affect both cancer …

The application of engineered biomaterials for wound healing has been pursued since the
beginning of tissue engineering. Here, we attempt to apply functionalized lignin to confer …

Controlled photooxidation‐mediated disruption of collagens in the tumor microenvironment
can reduce desmoplasia and enhance immune responsiveness. However, achieving …

The interplay between genetic transformations, biochemical communications, and physical
interactions is crucial in cancer progression. Metastasis, a leading cause of cancer-related …

From the development of self-aggregating, scaffold-free multicellular spheroids to the
inclusion of scaffold systems, 3D models have progressively increased in complexity to …

With the goal of enhancing the early diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) polyps and
reducing the risk of mortality in cancer patients, in this article, we present a unique diagnosis …

Biomechanical contributions of the extracellular matrix underpin cell growth and
proliferation, differentiation, signal transduction, and other fate decisions. As such …

We review the advances obtained by using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)-based
approaches in the field of cell/tissue mechanics and adhesion, comparing the solutions …

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play a major role in reorganizing the physical tumor
micro-environment and changing tissue stiffness. Herein, using an engineered three …
