The growth-driven penetration strategy of plant roots is mechanically more efficient than pushing

This study compares the mechanical efficiency of root growth and push-driven penetration strategies in Arabidopsis thaliana roots using experiments and simulations.

Bio-electricity production from Fibroblasts and their cultivation media.

This paper demonstrates that fibroblast cells can generate electrical current in bio-electrochemical cells, with higher output than microorganisms, and identifies NADH, flavins, and redox species in the cultivation medium as key contributors.

Probing Local Force Propagation in Tensed Fibrous Gels

This study measures force propagation in tensed fibrin hydrogels and shows that force transmission becomes anisotropic with stronger response perpendicular to tension.

Inference of long-range cell-cell force transmission from ECM remodeling fluctuations

This paper introduces a computational method to infer long-range cell-cell force transmission through the extracellular matrix using ECM remodeling fluctuations, demonstrating its effectiveness in fibroblast and cancer cell models.
