TL;DR: It is concluded that stem cells exert a mechanical force on collagen fibres and gauge the feedback to make cell-fate decisions, and are regulated by the elastic modulus of PAAm.

TL;DR: Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) harvest and assemble plasma fibronectin into their extracellular matrix (ECM) fibrils within 24 hours, which suggests that hMSCs utilize their own contractile forces to translate environmental cues into differential biochemical signals by stretching fibronECTin fibril.

TL;DR: In the version of this article originally published, in Fig. 4f, the two red-stained fluorescence microscopy images were reversed; this has now been corrected in the HTML and PDF versions as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that fibronectin's conformations within the ECM are activated by heparin such as to coordinate with other factors to upregulate hMSC osteogenic differentiation and serve as a 'converter' to tune h MSC differentiation in extracellular matrices.

TL;DR: The proposed new clinical score in combination with D-dimers may be helpful for predicting CVT as a pretest score; none of the patients with CVT showed low clinical probability for CVT and D- dimers <500 μg/L.
