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

Substantial research over the past two decades has established that extracellular matrix
(ECM) elasticity, or stiffness, affects fundamental cellular processes, including spreading …

Medial arterial calcification (MAC) is a chronic systemic vascular disorder distinct from
atherosclerosis that is frequently but not always associated with diabetes mellitus, chronic …

Nowadays, orthodontic treatment has become increasingly popular. However, the biological
mechanisms of orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) have not been fully elucidated. We were …

Living cells are constantly exposed to mechanical stimuli arising from the surrounding
extracellular matrix (ECM) or from neighboring cells. The intracellular molecular processes …

A growing body of evidence suggests that mechanical signals emanating from the cell's
microenvironment are fundamental regulators of cell behaviour. Moreover, at the …

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

Three dimensional bioprinting is an emerging fabrication technique in the field of tissue
engineering. Extrusion-based bioprinting is one of the widely employed biofabrication …

Fibroblasts are cells present throughout the human body that are primarily responsible for
the production and maintenance of the extracellular matrix (ECM) within the tissues. They …

Nanotopography presents an effective physical approach for biomaterial cell manipulation
mediated through material-extracellular matrix interactions. The extracellular matrix that …
