The cells of all animals—including humans—are characterized by their ability to adhere particularly well to surfaces in their environment. This mechanically stable adhesion enables the development of ...

Cells adhere to their surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM) through specialised receptors and molecular assemblies that sense, transmit and respond to mechanical and biochemical cues. Integrins, the ...

An IBEC-led study has revealed how mesenchymal stem cells respond to the viscosity of their environment, a key aspect in their differentiation process. The findings, published in Nature Communications ...

A new microfluidic technology that leverages immune cell behavior is set to transform cancer monitoring, thanks to researchers at UNIST. Led by Professor Joo Hun Kang in the Department of Biomedical ...

Cell culture materials impact a target cell’s ability to proliferate and function as planned. These materials offer precise mechanical and chemical cues that decide a cell's morphology and ...
