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

Abstract 3D printing alias additive manufacturing can transform 3D virtual models created by
computer-aided design (CAD) into physical 3D objects in a layer-by-layer manner …

Tissue engineering applications commonly encompass the use of three-dimensional (3D)
scaffolds to provide a suitable microenvironment for the incorporation of cells or growth …

Owing to their unique chemical and physical properties, hydrogels are attracting increasing
attention in both basic and translational biomedical studies. Although the classical hydrogels …

Cells' local mechanical environment can be as important in guiding cellular responses as
many well-characterized biochemical cues. Hydrogels that mimic the native extracellular …

Biomaterials have played an increasingly prominent role in the success of biomedical
devices and in the development of tissue engineering, which seeks to unlock the …

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 …

Hydrogels are hydrophilic polymer‐based materials with high water content and physical
characteristics that resemble the native extracellular matrix. Because of their remarkable …

We investigated whether stem cells remember past physical signals and whether these can
be exploited to dose cells mechanically. We found that the activation of the Yes-associated …

Supramolecular hydrogels bound by hydrogen bonding, host-guest, hydrophobic, and other
non-covalent interactions are among the most attractive biomaterials available …
