The cell microenvironment has emerged as a key determinant of cell behavior and function
in development, physiology, and pathophysiology. The extracellular matrix (ECM) within the …

Polyphenolic materials are a class of fascinating and versatile bioinspired materials for
biointerfacial engineering. In particular, due to the presence of active chemical groups, a …

Untethered robots miniaturized to the length scale of millimeter and below attract growing
attention for the prospect of transforming many aspects of health care and bioengineering …

Cell state is often assayed through measurement of biochemical and biophysical markers.
Although biochemical markers have been widely used, intrinsic biophysical markers, such …

After decades of development, microrobots have exhibited great application potential in the
biomedical field, such as minimally invasive surgery, drug delivery, and bio‐sensing …

This article reviews the application of electric circuit methods for the analysis of pressure-
driven microfluidic networks with an emphasis on concentration-and flow-dependent …

Cells in their in vivo microenvironment constantly encounter and respond to a multitude of
signals. While the role of biochemical signals has long been appreciated, the importance of …

The complex interaction of cells with biomaterials (ie, materiobiology) plays an increasingly
pivotal role in the development of novel implants, biomedical devices, and tissue …

The cells and tissues of the human body are constantly exposed to exogenous and
endogenous forces that are referred to as biomechanical cues. They guide and impact …

All cells are influenced by mechanical forces. In the brain, force-generating and load-
bearing proteins twist, turn, ratchet, flex, compress, expand and bend to mediate neuronal …
