Structural biological materials are multiphase composite materials in nature. Their
mechanical properties are extraordinary despite their weak constituents. This review aims to …

The field of sequencing is a topic of significant interest since its emergence and has become
increasingly important over time. Impressive achievements have been obtained in this field …

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are master regulators of immune functions via
the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway and are expressed in microglia, the brain's …

The ability of cells to convert mechanical perturbations into biochemical information is an
essential aspect of mammalian physiology. The molecules that mediate such …

Orthodontic tooth movement is a complex periodontal remodeling process triggered by
compression that involves sterile inflammation and immune responses. Macrophages are …

Altered metabolic programs and corruption of tissue architecture are hallmarks of disease.
The spatiotemporal control of cell behavior requires transmission of information from the …

The biophysical properties of cells described at the level of whole cells or their membranes
have many consequences for their biological behavior. However, our understanding of the …

Mechanical force loading is essential for maintaining bone homeostasis, and unloading
exposure can lead to bone loss. Osteoclasts are the only bone resorbing cells and play a …

When the electric discharge process is limited by high voltage electrodes shielding, the
ionization measure would be controlled to less than one percent and the temperature to less …

Mechanical nociception is essential for animal survival. However, the forces involved in
nociceptor activation and the underlying mechanotransduction mechanisms remain elusive …
