Natural extracellular matrices (ECMs) are viscoelastic and exhibit stress relaxation. However,
hydrogels used as synthetic ECMs for three-dimensional (3D) culture are typically elastic. …

Biomaterials have dramatically increased in functionality and complexity, allowing unprecedented
control over the cells that interact with them. From these engineering advances arises …

Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a life-threatening disease caused by a novel
coronavirus termed SARS-CoV. Due to the severity of this disease, the World Health …

Studies of cellular mechanotransduction have converged upon the idea that cells sense
extracellular matrix (ECM) elasticity by gauging resistance to the traction forces they exert on the …

The effectiveness of stem cell therapies has been hampered by cell death and limited
control over fate. These problems can be partially circumvented by using macroporous …

… As a recently described interpenetrating network (IPN) of alginate and polyacrylamide
demonstrated a fracture toughness of ∼9000 J/m 2 , we sought to explore the biocompatibility and …

Biomolecular and physical cues of the extracellular matrix environment regulate collective cell
dynamics and tissue patterning. Nonetheless, how the viscoelastic properties of the matrix …

In lymph nodes, fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) form a collagen-based reticular network
that supports migratory dendritic cells (DCs) and T cells and transports lymph. A hallmark of …

While xenobiotic carboxylic acids (XCAs) have been studied extensively with respect to
their enzymatic conversion to potentially reactive acyl glucuronides with implications to drug …

BACKGROUND: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS‐CoV) has been
detected in the blood of infected individuals, which may have the potential to contaminate …
