Structural maturation of myofilaments in engineered 3D cardiac microtissues characterized using small angle X-ray scattering

Geoffrey van Dover, Josh Javor, Jourdan Ewoldt +7

Understanding the structural and functional development of human-induced pluripotent stem-cell-derived cardiomyocytes is essential to engineering cardiac tissue that enables pharma…

Observation of a uniaxial ferroelectric smectic A phase

Xi Chen, Vikina Martinez, Pierre Nacke +12

We report the smectic , a new liquid crystal phase of the ferroelectric nematic realm. The smectic is a phase of small polar, rod-shaped molecules which form two-dimensi…

Antiferroelectric Smectic Ordering as a Prelude to the Ferroelectric Nematic:Introducing the Smectic Phase

Xi Chen, Vikina Martinez, Eva Korblova +9

We have structurally characterized the liquid crystal phase that appears as an intermediate state when a dielectric nematic, having polar disorder of its molecular dipoles, transit…

Anomalous Self-assembly of Architecturally Semiflexible Block Copolymers

Shifeng Nian, Zhouhao Fan, Guillaume Freychet +3

Block copolymer self-assembly is a fundamental process in which incompatible blocks spontaneously form organized microstructures with broad practical applications. Classical unders…

Probing Subcellular Nanostructure of Engineered Human Cardiomyocytes in 3D Tissue

Josh Javor, Jourdan K. Ewoldt, Paige E. Cloonan +9

The structural and functional maturation of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) is essential for application to pharmaceutical testing, disease m…
