Within tissues, cells are embedded in complex, three-dimensional structures known as the extracellular matrix. Their biomechanical interactions play a crucial role in numerous biological processes.

Using a non-traditional, micro-organism separation method, researchers at Rochester Institute of Technology discovered a faster technique that can be used to distinguish cells that are resistant to ...

To better understand our cells and extracellular matrix—the 3D scaffolding that surrounds our cells—scientists apply different mechanical forces to simulate these microenvironments. A new study uses ...
