This study shows that estradiol changes actin and protrusion dynamics in endometriotic epithelial cells, promoting a more elongated morphology and disordered actin flow after 24 hours of treatment.

This study shows that increasing fluid viscosity can temporarily restore young-like surveillance behaviors in aged human T cells by improving deformability and sensing.

This study shows that substrate stiffness and cellular context influence mechanical properties and junction organization in iPSC-derived brain endothelial cells.

This study shows that fibrotic substrate stiffness increases endometriotic epithelial cell motility by enhancing speed, actin stress fibers, and spheroid expansion.

This study investigates the responsiveness of the 12Z human endometriotic epithelial cell line to estradiol, finding it lacks functional sensitivity in most assays but shows selective response in 3D migration under confinement.

This paper develops a microfluidic system for high-throughput mechanotyping of cells to study cytoskeletal modulations and their effects on cellular mechanics.
