This study develops a mechanobiological model to show how extracellular viscosity affects cancer cell migration through actin dynamics and adhesion, revealing a biphasic response and migration memory.

The paper models how critical cell spacing drives a phase transition in matrix-mediated tissue condensation through mechanical feedback.

This study develops a multiscale model to explore how integrin activation, clustering, and internalization influence cell-substrate adhesion dynamics and migration behavior.

This study shows that mechanical stretching can disrupt pathological crosslinks in fibrotic tissues, reversing fibrosis in mice when combined with pharmacological treatment.

This study identifies HSF1 as a mechanically sensitive regulator of left-right symmetry breaking in zebrafish embryos through nodal flow-induced gene expression asymmetry.

This study investigates how Drosophila larval nociceptors detect mechanical forces, finding that they preferentially sense localized poking and rely on specific molecular and structural features.

This study shows that brain blood flow and biomechanical network properties change in a frequency-dependent way when exposed to vibration.
