Compressed collagen gel: a novel scaffold for human bladder cells

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Florian Maria Wurm, Peter Frey

Collagen is highly conserved across species and has been used extensively for tissue regeneration; however, its mechanical properties are limited. A recent advance using plastic compression of collagen gels to achieve much higher concentrations significant ...

Integration column: Artificial ECM: expanding the cell biology toolbox in 3D

Matthias Lütolf

Many crucial cellular processes in our tissues are governed by complex, spatio-temporally regulated interactions between cells and their extracellular matrix (ECM). These interactions can be studied using well-established 3D in vitro model systems such as ...

3D collagen cultures under well-defined dynamic strain: A novel strain device with a porous elastomeric support

Melody Swartz, Alice Anna Tomei

The field of mechanobiology has grown tremendously in the past few decades, and it is now well accepted that dynamic stresses and strains can impact cell and tissue organization, cell-cell and cell-matrix communication, matrix remodeling, cell proliferatio ...

Micromechanics and damping properties of composites integrating shear thickening fluids

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Razvan Cristian Neagu

Damping is an important parameter for vibration control, noise reduction, fatigue endurance or impact resistance of composite materials. In this study, a micromechanical model was used to predict the damping of a composite material containing shear thicken ...

Myofibroblast communication is controlled by intercellular mechanical coupling

Boris Hinz, Jean-Jacques Meister, Sébastien Schaub, Lysianne Follonier Castella

Neoformation of intercellular adherens junctions accompanies the differentiation of fibroblasts into contractile myofibroblasts, a key event during development of fibrosis and in wound healing. We have previously shown that intercellular mechanical couplin ...

Calibrating the Yule-Nielsen modified spectral Neugebauer model with ink spreading curves derived from digitized RGB calibration patch images

Roger Hersch

The Yule-Nielsen modified spectral Neugebauer model (YNSN) enhanced for accounting for ink spreading in the different ink superposition conditions requires a photospectrometer to measure the reflectances of halftone calibration patches in order to compute ...

Adaptive composite structures for tailored human-materials interaction

Christian Fischer

Controlling the static and dynamic properties of sports equipment has since long been of great concern in the sports engineering industry. More recently there has been interest in better understanding and improving the interplay between such properties and ...

Pre- and Post-Transition Behavior of Shear Thickening Fluids in oscillating Shear

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, Véronique Michaud, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, John Christopher Plummer, Christian Fischer

The dynamic shear-thickening behavior of concentrated colloidal suspensions of fumed silica in polypropylene glycol has been investigated. Dynamic frequency sweeps showed that, for any given solids concentration, the complex viscosity at different imposed ...
