Three-dimensional force microscopy of cells in biopolymer networks
Julian Steinwachs,Claus Metzner,Kai Skodzek,Nadine Lang,Ingo Thievessen,Christoph Mark,Stefan Münster,Katerina E. Aifantis,Ben Fabry +8 more
TL;DR: The authors' measurements show that breast carcinoma cells cultured in collagen gels generated nearly constant forces regardless of the collagen concentration and matrix stiffness, and time-lapse force measurements showed that these cells migrated in a gliding motion with alternating phases of high and low contractility, elongation, migratory speed and persistence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current investigations into magnetic nanoparticles for biomedical applications.
Xiaoming Li,Jianrong Wei,Katerina E. Aifantis,Yubo Fan,Qingling Feng,Fuzhai Cui,Fumio Watari +6 more
TL;DR: Promising research points include the development of more appropriate techniques of experiments both in vitro and in vivo to detect and analyze the biocompatibility and cytotoxicity of MNPs and understand the possible influencing mechanism of the two properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of interfaces in enhancing the yield strength of composites and polycrystals
TL;DR: In this article, a deformation-theory version of strain-gradient plasticity is employed to assess the influence of microstructural scale on the yield strength of composites and polycrystals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incipient plasticity during nanoindentation at grain boundaries in body-centered cubic metals
TL;DR: In this paper, the mechanical response to nanoindentation near grain boundaries has been investigated in an Fe-14%Si bicrystal with a general grain boundary and two Mo bicystals with symmetric tilt boundaries, and it was shown that the hardness at the onset of these yield excursions increases as the distance of the tip to the boundary decreases.
BookDOI
High Energy Density Lithium Batteries: Materials, Engineering, Applications
TL;DR: Theoretical analysis for Li-Ion Batteries: Introduction, Fracture Mechanism Analysis, Cahn's Gradient Thermodynamics, Design Criteria Conclusions and Future Outlook as mentioned in this paper.
