A biomechanical environment constructed exploiting the mechanical property of the extracellular matrix and external loading is essential for cell behaviour. Building suitable mechanical stimuli using feasible scaffold material and moderate mechanical loading is critical in bone tissue engineering for bone repair. However, the detailed mechanism of the mechanical regulation remains ambiguous.

Environmental osmolarity plays a crucial role in regulating the functions and behaviors of both host cells and pathogens. However, it remains unclear whether and how environmental osmotic stimuli modulate bacterial‒host interfacial adhesion. Using single-cell force spectroscopy, we revealed that the interfacial adhesion force depended nonlinearly on the osmotic prestimulation of host cells but not bacteria.

Equilibrated fluid-solid-growth (FSGe) is a fast, open source, three-dimensional (3D) computational platform for simulating interactions between instantaneous hemodynamics and long-term vessel wall adaptation through mechanobiologically equilibrated growth and remodeling (G&R). Such models can capture evolving geometry, composition, and material properties in health and disease and following clinical interventions. In traditional G&R models, this feedback is modeled through highly simplified fluid solutions, neglecting local variations in blood pressure and wall shear stress (WSS).

Biomechanical contributions of the extracellular matrix underpin cell growth and proliferation, differentiation, signal transduction, and other fate decisions. As such, biomaterials whose mechanics can be spatiotemporally altered- particularly in a reversible manner- are extremely valuable for studying these mechanobiological phenomena. Herein, a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-based hydrogel model consisting of two interpenetrating step-growth networks is introduced that are independently formed via largely orthogonal bioorthogonal chemistries and sequentially degraded with distinct recombinant sortases, affording reversibly tunable stiffness ranges that span healthy and diseased soft tissues (e.
