This study uses a biomechanical bioreactor to show that fibroblasts adjust stress dynamically with collagen concentration, revealing a balance between contractility and matrix densification.

This study identifies biomechanical stiffening and fibrotic remodeling as hallmarks of early-onset colorectal cancer, showing their role in tumor initiation.

The paper uses photocrosslinking to alter tissue stiffness in embryonic lungs and shows it inhibits epithelial budding morphogenesis.
