Tissue-like compression stiffening in biopolymer networks induced by aggregated and irregularly shaped inclusions

Xuechen Shi, Jordan L. Shivers, F. C. MacKintosh, Paul A. Janmey

This study shows that aggregated or irregularly shaped inclusions can induce compression stiffening in biopolymer networks at low volume fractions, mimicking tissue behavior.

Static mechanical stretch induces collective alignment of C2C12 myoblasts

Xuechen Shi, Luyi Feng, Sulin Zhang

This study shows static mechanical stretch causes collective alignment of C2C12 myoblasts, with dense cultures aligning more robustly than sparse ones due to cellular forces and intercellular interactions.
