The paper introduces BLOC, a modular organ-on-a-chip system that allows flexible configuration for diverse applications in MPS research.

This study examines how changes in collagen gel elasticity and fibril density affect cell adhesion, showing opposing effects when both parameters increase.

This study shows that soft elasticity and microgrooves promote the formation of slow-twitch muscle-like myotubes by enhancing fiber-type markers and orientation.

This study introduces holographic heating microscopy to control spatiotemporal temperature and investigate thermosensitive calcium signaling in various cell types.
