Decoupling Bulk Stiffness and Pore Size in 3D Rat Tail Collagen I Matrices

Theadora Vessella, Qi Wen, H. Susan Zhou

This study decouples bulk stiffness and pore size in 3D collagen matrices and shows that changes in pore size affect cell morphology despite similar mechanical conditions.

Investigation of cell mechanics and migration on DDR2-expressing neuroblastoma cell line

Theadora Vessella, Esteban J. Rozen, Jason Matthew Shohet, Qi Wen, H. Susan Zhou

This study investigates how DDR2 affects cell mechanics and migration in neuroblastoma cells, finding that DDR2 down-regulation reduces proliferation, stiffness, and traction forces.
