There is a trial of strength at the cellular level. Cells are in constant competition with each other and so eliminate diseased or unwanted cells. Cell competition is therefore a central principle for ...

Scientists found that embryonic skin cells “whisper” through faint mechanical tugs, using the same force-sensing proteins ...

Cells, the fundamental building blocks of life, are constantly subjected to a variety of mechanical forces within our bodies.

A new recipe, or design guidelines, for a self-strengthening muscle-like hydrogel has been developed through strategic integration of computational, information, and experimental research. The ...

As brain tumors grow, they must do one of two things: push against the brain or use finger-like extensions to invade and ...

A research team led by Prof. Tian-Bao Ma from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Tsinghua University has proposed a ...

Mechanical Force on the Skull May Aid Bone Regeneration. By mechanically inducing the expansion of cranial sutures in young adult mice, researchers stimulated stem cell proliferation that is key to ...
