Active wetting/de-wetting of focal adhesions on viscoelastic substrates
Ivana Pajic-Lijakovic, Milan Milivojevic, Boris Martinac +2
Cell adhesion to viscoelastic substrates is mediated by focal adhesions (FAs), which dynamically couple actomyosin contractility to the extracellular matrix. Although substrate str…
Acoustofluidic phase microscopy in a tilted segmentation-free configuration
Julián Mejía Morales, Björn Hammarström, Gian Luca Lippi +2
A low-cost device for registration-free quantitative phase microscopy (QPM) based on the transport of intensity equation (TIE) of cells in continuous flow is presented. The method…
The effect of pulsed electromagnetic field exposure on osteoinduction of human mesenchymal stem cells cultured on nano- surfaces
Nora Bloise, Loredana Petecchia, Gabriele Ceccarelli +9
Human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs) are considered a great promise in the repair and regeneration of bone. Considerable efforts have been oriented towards u…
What Caging Force Cells Feel in 3D Hydrogels: A Rheological Perspective
Giuseppe Ciccone, Oana Dobre, Graham M. Gibson +3
It is established that the mechanical properties of hydrogels control the fate of (stem) cells. However, despite its importance, a one-to-one correspondence between gels' stiffness…
Diffusion of two molecular species in a crowded environment: theory and experiments
D. Fanelli, A. J. McKane, G. Pompili +3
Diffusion of a two component fluid is studied in the framework of differential equations, but where these equations are systematically derived from a well-defined microscopic model…
Reconstructing the free energy landscape of a polyprotein by single-molecule experiments
A. Imparato, F. Sbrana, M. Vassalli
The mechanical unfolding of an engineered protein composed of eight domains of Ig27 is investigated by using atomic force microscopy. Exploiting a fluctuation relation, the equilib…
