Cells have the ability to respond to various types of environmental cues, and in many cases
these cues induce directed cell migration towards or away from these signals. How cells …

The immune system has to cope with a wide range of irregularly shaped pathogens that can
actively move (eg, by flagella) and also dynamically remodel their shape (eg, transition from …

Osteoimmunology is at full display during endosseous implant osseointegration. Bone
formation, maintenance and resorption at the implant surface is a result of bidirectional and …

Materials patterned with high‐aspect‐ratio nanostructures have features on similar length
scales to cellular components. These surfaces are an extreme topography on the cellular …

Intracellular delivery of advanced therapeutics, including biologicals and supramolecular
agents, is complex because of the natural biological barriers that have evolved to protect the …

Cells are constantly submitted to external mechanical stresses, which they must withstand
and respond to. By forming a physical boundary between cells and their environment that is …

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is responsible for the synthesis and folding of a large
number of proteins, as well as intracellular calcium regulation, lipid synthesis, and lipid …

New tools for intracellular electrophysiology that push the limits of spatiotemporal resolution
while reducing invasiveness could provide a deeper understanding of electrogenic cells and …

Topography of the extracellular environment is now recognized as a major biophysical
regulator of cell behavior and function. The study of the influence of patterned substrates on …

Soft and hard materials at interfaces exhibit mismatched behaviors, such as mismatched
chemical or biochemical reactivity, mechanical response, and environmental adaptability …
