Scientists have engineered a lab-on-a-chip system capable of applying precisely controlled mechanical forces to biological materials that mimic the extracellular matrix.

The challenges of connecting molecular changes to tissue structure and highlights the potential of multifractal frameworks to quantify complex biological patterns ...

In a study published in Cell Stem Cell, researchers led by Profs. DAI Jianwu and ZHAO Yannan from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have ...

Within tissues, cells are embedded in complex, three-dimensional structures known as the extracellular matrix. Their biomechanical interactions play a crucial role in numerous biological processes.

Tumor microenvironment is a complex assembly of cancer cells, immune cells, stromal cells, and extracellular matrix components. Interactions between these components can significantly impact tumor ...

This neon tapestry of red and blue is a unique look at the space between cells in the body known as the extracellular matrix. This image was created using a new labeling technique that allows ...

Within contemporary molecular biology, the regulation of tissue growth has emerged as a central theme linking developmental signaling, metabolic balance, and structural adaptation. Among the molecular ...

Post-traumatic osteoarthritis develops rapidly after joint injury, yet current treatments largely address symptoms rather ...

Efficient intracellular delivery of macromolecular therapeutics remains a major barrier to the clinical translation of biologic modalities. The Liu Lab studies how extracellular vesicles (EVs) can be ...
