Endothelial cells (ECs) lining all blood vessels are subjected to large mechanical stresses
that regulate their structure and function in health and disease. Here, we review EC …

Cardiovascular devices have been widely applied in the clinical treatment of cardiovascular
diseases. However, poor hemocompatibility and slow endothelialization on their surface still …

Small pore sizes inherent to electrospun matrices can hinder efficient cellular ingrowth. To
facilitate infiltration while retaining its extracellular matrix-like character, electrospinning was …

Adherent cells residing within tissues or biomaterials are presented with 3D geometrical
cues from their environment, often in the form of local surface curvatures. While there is …

Formation of a continuous endothelial cell (EC) monolayer inside the luminal surface with
enhanced hemocompatibility, is a promising solution for improving performance and overall …

The intrinsic architecture of biological tissues and of implanted biomaterials provides cells
with large-scale geometrical cues. To understand how cells are able to sense and respond …

There are various fabrication methods for synthesizing nanostructures, among which plasma-
based technology is strongly competitive in terms of its flexibility and friendly uses, economy …

The extracellular microenvironment is an important regulator of cell functions. Numerous
structural cues present in the cellular microenvironment, such as ligand distribution and …

Tumorigenesis and metastasis are highly dependent on the interactions between the tumor
and the surrounding microenvironment. In 3D matrix, the fibrous structure of the extracellular …

While cells attach, spread, migrate, proliferate, and differentiate in three‐dimensional (3D)
micromechanical environments, the mechanical factors of these environments influence the …
