Morphology together with the capability to respond to surrounding stimuli are the key elements governing the spatial interaction of a living cell with the environment. In this respect, biomechanical stimulation can trigger significant physiological cascades that can potentially modulate or interact ...
The extracellular matrix (ECM) of the ocular trabecular meshwork (TM) builds resistance to aqueous humor outflow, thereby regulating intraocular pressure (IOP). Glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness worldwide, is associated with changes in the ECM of the TM. The elastic modulus indicates glaucomato...
Keratoconus (KC) is a chronic and degenerative condition marked by pathological weakening, thinning, and protrusion of the corneal tissue. Corneal biomechanical weakness constitutes a hallmark of early keratoconus (KC) stages, which has underlined the importance of the study of biomechanical respons...
This analysis compared cardiomyocytes derived from induced pluripotent stem cells under biochemical and biomechanical conditions expected to induced maturation.
