The ability of cells to perceive the mechanical identity of extracellular matrix, generally known as mechanosensing, is generally depicted as a consequence of an intricate balance between pulling ...

Stem cells are regulated by cell-intrinsic and cell-extrinsic forces in development, homeostasis and regeneration. Mechanical tension regulates early embryogenesis ex vivo in embryoid ...

Schematic diagram depicting the mechanism of the rigid matrix regulating cell glycolysis in degenerated NPCs. In degenerated NP tissue, MRTF-A was activated by increased matrix stiffness and ...

Although lithium-ion batteries are ubiquitous in portable electronics, increased charge rate and discharge power are required for more demanding applications such as electric vehicles. The high-rate ...
