The paper investigates the role of osmotic pressure and mechanical stresses in blastocyst expansion using mouse embryos and finds that osmotic pressure differences dominate over mechanical stresses.

This paper introduces a hydrodynamic method to produce extracellular vesicles from stem cell spheroids, showing increased yield and distinct protein cargo profiles under hydrodynamic stimulation.

This study introduces magnetic bioprinting to control tissue geometry and mechanical forces in skeletal muscle, enabling shape fabrication and mechanical property investigation.

This study uses a kidney-on-chip model to decouple shear stress and pressure effects on tubule dilation in Pkd1-/- cells, revealing distinct mechanisms in different kidney cell types.

This study develops a magnetic bioprinting method to create stretchable, shape-controlled skeletal muscle tissues that maintain their form and enhance maturation through magnetic stimulation.

This study shows PIEZO channels are essential for intestinal stem cell maintenance by sensing mechanical cues from their niche.

The paper identifies a novel tardigrade-specific DNA binding protein, TDR1, that enhances resistance to ionizing radiation in human cells.
