Abstract: Lung fibrosis, characterized by chronic and progressive scarring, has no cure. Hallmarks are the accumulation of myofibroblasts and extracellular matrix, as well as vascular remodeling. The crosstalk between myofibroblasts and vasculature is poorly understood, with ...

Abstract: The incorporation of a functional perfusable microvascular network (MVN) is a common requirement for most organ on-chip-models. Long-term perfusion of MVNs is often required for the maturation of organ phenotypes and disease pathologies and to model the transport of cells and drugs entering ...

Abstract: Immune cells, such as macrophages and dendritic cells, can utilize podosomes, mechanosensitive actin-rich protrusions, to generate forces, migrate, and patrol for foreign antigens. Individual podosomes probe their microenvironment through periodic protrusion and retraction cycles (height ...

Abstract: Cancer metastasis involves the collective migration of cancer cells in confined space, a problem that has been widely investigated in vitro. Here, we quantify the flow patterns of cancer cell as they invade tissue space and deform ...

Abstract: Metastasis, the leading cause of cancer-related deaths, involves a complex cascade of events, including extravasation. Despite extensive research into metastasis, the mechanisms underlying extravasation remain unclear. Molecular targeted therapies have advanced cancer treatment, yet their efficacy is limited, prompting exploration into novel ...
