Soft robotics continues to push beyond the constraints of rigid mechanisms, offering adaptable solutions for grasping, ...

Yet, arterial stiffness has emerged as a prominent marker of cardiovascular risk, first in high-risk patients (eg, end-stage renal disease [ESRD]), then in hypertension, and now in nearly all ...

With the development of magnetorheological fluid (MRF) technology, variable stiffness and damping MRF dampers as semi-active controllers gradually show their unique advantages in the vibration control ...

In the maintenance of cable structures, such as cable-stayed bridges and extra-dosed bridges, it is necessary to estimate the tension acting on the cables. The safety of a cable is confirmed by ...

Despite the wide recognition of larger artery stiffness as a highly clinically relevant and independent prognostic biomarker, it has yet be incorporated into routine clinical practice and to take a ...

The mechanosensing ability of lymphocytes regulates their activation in response to antigen stimulation, but the underlying mechanism remains unexplored. Here, we report that B cell ...

How organ-shaping mechanical imbalances are generated is a central question of morphogenesis, with existing paradigms focusing on asymmetric force generation within cells. We show here that organs can ...

Mechanobiology is receiving an increasing amount of focus, but the mechanics of cell-substrate behavior are often neglected in cell biology. As such, novel materials and systems that are simple to ...

Direct foam writing enables the construction of architected cellular ceramics with tailored microstructure, geometry, and mechanical properties. These bioinspired, hierarchical structures exhibit ...
