Survivin is a mechanosensitive cell cycle regulator in vascular smooth muscle cells

The paper identifies survivin as a mechanosensitive regulator of cell cycle progression in vascular smooth muscle cells under mechanical stress.

Survivin Regulates Intracellular Stiffness and Extracellular Matrix Production in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells

This study shows survivin regulates intracellular stiffness and ECM production in VSMCs, linking it to arterial stiffness and vascular disease.

Mechanotransductive feedback control of endothelial cell motility and vascular morphogenesis

This study identifies a mechanotransductive feedback loop involving YAP and TAZ that regulates endothelial cell motility and vascular morphogenesis in vitro and in vivo.

Characterization of TGFβ-induced tendon-like structure in scaffold-free three-dimensional tendon cell culture

This study develops a scaffold-free 3D tendon culture system to investigate TGFβ-induced tendon-like structure formation and its effects on cell behavior and matrix organization.

Chemo-Mechanical Cues Modulate Nano-Scale Chromatin Organization in Healthy and Diseased Connective Tissue Cells

This study shows that chemo-mechanical cues influence chromatin organization in connective tissue cells, with disease disrupting this relationship.

Development of A Decellularized Meniscus Matrix-Based Nanofibrous Scaffold for Meniscus Tissue Engineering

This paper develops a nanofibrous scaffold using decellularized meniscus matrix and synthetic polymers to enhance meniscus cell function and matrix production.

Machine learning reveals heterogeneous responses to FAK, Rac, Rho, and Cdc42 inhibition on vascular smooth muscle cell spheroid formation and morphology

This study uses HETEROID to analyze how FAK, Rac, Rho, and Cdc42 inhibitors affect VSMC spheroid formation and morphology, revealing pathway-specific responses.
