Long Range Force Transmission in Fibrous Matrices Enabled by Tension-Driven Alignment of Fibers
Hailong Wang, Abhilash Nair, Christopher S. Chen +2
Cells can sense and respond to mechanical signals over relatively long distances across fibrous extracellular matrices. Here, we explore all of the key factors that influence long…
Remodeling of Fibrous Extracellular Matrices by Contractile Cells: Predictions from Discrete Fiber Network Simulations
Abhilash Nair, Brendon M. Baker, Britta Trappmann +2
Contractile forces exerted on the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM) lead to the alignment and stretching of constituent fibers within the vicinity of cells. As a consequence,…
MXenes as High Capacity Electrode Materials for Metal (Li, Na, K, Ca)-ion batteries
Dequan Er, Junwen Li, Michael Naguib +3
Two-dimensional (2D) materials can have an excellent capability to handle high rates of charge in ion batteries since metal ions need not diffuse in a 3D lattice structure. However…
