Cells interpret mechanical stimuli from their environments and neighbors, but the ability to
engineer customized mechanosensing capabilities has remained a synthetic and …

Objective Lymphatic and blood microvascular systems are critical for tissue function. Insights
into the coordination of both systems can be gained by investigating the relationships …

We developed a method in which the NS3 cis-protease from hepatitis C virus can be used
as a ligand-inducible connection to control the function and localization of engineered …

Background: Lymphatic function is critical for maintaining interstitial fluid balance and is
linked to multiple pathological conditions. While smooth muscle contractile mechanisms …

A big problem associated with aging is thought to be impaired microvascular growth or
angiogenesis. However, to link the evidence for impaired angiogenesis to microvascular …

Although sensory cortex is thought to be important for the perception of complex objects, its
specific role in representing complex stimuli remains unknown. Complex objects are rich in …

Cells can sense and interpret mechanical stimuli from their environments and neighbors, but
the ability to engineer customized mechanosensing capabilities has remained a synthetic …

Mechanical forces are fundamental regulators of biology. Individual cells can detect
environmental forces and transform them into intracellular biochemical actions, which impact gene …

Cells can sense and interpret mechanical stimuli from their environment, but the ability to
engineer customized mechanosensing capabilities has remained a synthetic biology challenge…
