This study uses 3D-printed microdevices to show fibroblasts respond to directional stress through a hierarchical temporal cascade, influencing myofibroblast transition and tissue organization.

This study shows that ECM physical properties, not chemistry, determine cancer cell morphology in 3D hydrogels, with cells adopting elongated or clustered states based on matrix stiffness.

This paper identifies tension anisotropy as the driver of implant-induced fibrosis and shows adhesive interfaces prevent it by distributing forces isotropically.

This study investigates how mechanical tension and cytoskeletal stiffening regulate cardiomyocyte contractility through a combined theoretical and experimental approach.
