Physical stimuli are essential for the function of eukaryotic cells, and changes in physical
signals are important elements in normal tissue development as well as in disease initiation …

Fibrinogen and fibrin are essential for hemostasis and are major factors in thrombosis,
wound healing, and several other biological functions and pathological conditions. The X …

Massive bleeding and infectious complication remain the leading cause of worldwide
trauma deaths. To tackle this issue, a platelet-inspired degradable antibacterial hydrogel …

Bleeding complications arising from trauma, surgery, and as congenital, disease‐
associated, or drug‐induced blood disorders can cause significant morbidities and …

Hemostatic materials are of great importance in medicine. However, their successful
implementation is still challenging as it depends on two, often counteracting, attributes; …

Uncontrolled haemorrhage is a major preventable cause of death in patients with traumatic
injury. Trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) describes abnormal coagulation processes that …

Blood platelets are critical for hemostasis and thrombosis and play diverse roles during
immune responses. Despite these versatile tasks in mammalian biology, their skills on a …

This is an overview of theoretical approaches to semiflexible polymers and their networks.
Such semiflexible polymers have large bending rigidities that can compete with the entropic …

Living systems operate far from thermodynamic equilibrium. Enzymatic activity can induce
broken detailed balance at the molecular scale. This molecular scale breaking of detailed …

Mechanosensing describes the ability of a cell to sense mechanical cues of its
microenvironment, including not only all components of force, stress, and strain but also …
