This study uses a nematic framework to show that endothelial cell orientation gradients drive angiogenic sprouting, with implications for therapeutic strategies.

This paper presents collagen-based bilayered tubular scaffolds for vascular and airway applications, demonstrating compliance and flexibility suitable for implants but with limitations in suture retention strength.

This paper introduces a new computational model to simulate cell monolayers and study nematic ordering and morphodynamic behaviors.

This study shows LOXL2 mediates BM assembly in response to microenvironment topography, affecting endothelial cell behavior and barrier properties.

This study uses a variational autoencoder to cluster nuclei on microgroove substrates, distinguishing between wildtype and laminopathy myoblasts based on nuclear deformation.

The paper studies how actin dynamics and tension affect endothelial cell mechanics under pressure, showing strain-stiffening and actin-driven reorientation.

This study uses microgroove substrates to show that adherent cells exhibit dynamic 3D nuclear deformations driven by adhesion, with implications for diagnosing nuclear mechanical disorders.
