Integrin receptors are the main molecular link between cells and the extracellular matrix
(ECM) as well as mediating cell–cell interactions. Integrin–ECM binding triggers the …

Integrin-mediated cell adhesion is essential for cell migration, mechanotransduction and
tissue integrity. In vivo, these processes are regulated by complex physicochemical signals …

Articular cartilage tissue has limited self-repair capabilities, with damage frequently
progressing to irreversible degeneration. Engineered tissues constructed through …

Cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix (ECM) is required for normal cell cycle progression
and accurate cell division. However, how cell adhesion to the wide range of ECM proteins …

The regulation of mass is essential for the development and homeostasis of cells and
multicellular organisms. However, cell mass is also tightly linked to cell mechanical …

Atomic force microscopy (AFM)-based force spectroscopy assay has become an important
method for characterizing the mechanical properties of single living cells under aqueous …

Mechanical forces are essential for life activities, and the mechanical phenotypes of single
cells are increasingly gaining attention. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been a standard …

Mechanical force is an essential feature for many physical and biological processes. 1-12
