Neural stem cells are multipotent cells with the ability to differentiate into neurons, astrocytes,
and oligodendrocytes. Lineage specification is strongly sensitive to the mechanical …

Piezo channels transduce mechanical stimuli into electrical and chemical signals to powerfully
influence development, tissue homeostasis, and regeneration. Studies on Piezo1 have …

Human neural stem/progenitor cells (hNSPCs) are good candidates for treating central
nervous system (CNS) trauma since they secrete beneficial trophic factors and differentiate into …

Neural stem and progenitor cell (NSPC) fate is strongly influenced by mechanotransduction
as modulation of substrate stiffness affects lineage choice. Other types of mechanical stimuli, …

Understanding the cellular properties controlling neural stem and progenitor cell (NSPC)
fate choice will improve their therapeutic potential. The electrophysiological measure whole-…

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive and metastatic form of breast
cancer that lacks the estrogen, progesterone and HER2 receptors and is resistant to targeted …

Adhesion to the microenvironment profoundly affects stem cell functions, including
proliferation and differentiation, and understanding the interaction of stem cells with the …

Dielectrophoresis (DEP) has proven an invaluable tool for the enrichment of populations of
stem and progenitor cells owing to its ability to sort cells in a label-free manner and its …

Cephalopods possess remarkable camouflage capabilities, which are enabled by their
complex skin structure and sophisticated nervous system. Such unique characteristics have in …

The human mechanosensitive ion channel PIEZO1 is gated by membrane tension and
regulates essential biological processes such as vascular development and erythrocyte volume …
