Journal ArticleDOI

The role of van der Waals forces in adhesion of micromachined surfaces

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the adhesion of micromachined surfaces is in a regime not considered by standard rough surface adhesion models and suggested that topographic correlations between the upper and lower surfaces must be considered to understand adhesion completely.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrogels with Reversible Mechanics to Probe Dynamic Cell Microenvironments

TL;DR: Haluronic acid-based substrates capable of sequential photodegradation and photoinitiated crosslinking reactions to soften and then stiffen the hydrogels over a physiologically relevant range of moduli are developed, rendering this platform amenable to studies of dynamic mechanics on cell behavior across many cell types and contexts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spatially patterned matrix elasticity directs stem cell fate.

TL;DR: It is inferred that irregular, disorganized variations in matrix mechanics appear to disrupt actin organization, and lead to different cell fates; this was verified by observations of lower alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and higher expression of CD105, a stem cell marker, in hMSCs in random versus regular patterns of mechanical properties.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tissue geometry drives deterministic organoid patterning

TL;DR: This work has attempted to control the patterning and morphogenesis of intestinal organoids via the physical properties and, in particular, the initial geometry of the tissue itself, and suggests that in vivo–like tissue geometries can drive stereotypical epithelial patterning by establishing reproducible local differences in cell packing and morphology.
