The mechanobiology of stem cells examines how physical forces and the mechanical properties of the surrounding environment guide cell behaviour, lineage commitment and tissue organisation. In tissue ...

RUDN University scientists have discovered that in weightlessness, the contractile activity of smooth muscles in the hollow organs of the gastrointestinal tract is disrupted. New data must be taken ...

Using gene editing in a preclinical model, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center blocked the symptoms of a rare smooth muscle disease before they developed. Their findings, published in ...

Mechanical force-driven signaling has emerged as a key regulator of cell–cell interactions (CCIs), which can enhance immune cell function. However, current biochemical approaches for studying CCIs ...
