Journal ArticleDOI
A mechanical metamaterial made from a DNA hydrogel
Jong Bum Lee,Songming Peng,Dayong Yang,Young Hoon Roh,Hisakage Funabashi,Hisakage Funabashi,Nokyoung Park,Nokyoung Park,Edward J. Rice,Liwei Chen,Rong Long,Mingming Wu,Dan Luo +12 more
TL;DR: It is shown that metamaterials with unusual mechanical properties can be prepared using DNA as a building block using a polymerase enzyme to elongate DNA chains and weave them non-covalently into a hydrogel, which has liquid- like properties when taken out of water and solid-like properties when in water.
Journal ArticleDOI
A hydrogel-based microfluidic device for the studies of directed cell migration
TL;DR: This device demonstrates the validity of using hydrogels as the building material for a microchemotaxis device, and demonstrates the potential of the hydrogel based microfluidic device in biological experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fibrous nonlinear elasticity enables positive mechanical feedback between cells and ECMs
Matthew Hall,Farid Alisafaei,Ehsan Ban,Xinzeng Feng,Chung-Yuen Hui,Vivek B. Shenoy,Mingming Wu +6 more
TL;DR: The basic force regulation principle uncovered here can be extended to understand the tissue-stiffening processes occurring in many diseases, such as tumor progression and fibrosis, and better design biomaterial scaffolds to control cell behavior in tissue engineering applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Logarithmic Sensing in Escherichia coli Bacterial Chemotaxis
TL;DR: The agreements between the experiments and the multi-scale model simulation verify the validity of the theoretical model, and revealed that the key microscopic mechanism for logarithmic sensing in bacterial chemotaxis is the adaptation kinetics, in contrast to explanations based directly on ligand occupancy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental studies on the shape and path of small air bubbles rising in clean water
Mingming Wu,Morteza Gharib +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the shape and path of air bubbles (diameter range 0.1-0.2 cm) in clean water was investigated and it was shown that bubbles in this diameter range have two steady shapes, a sphere and an ellipsoid, depending on the size of the tube from which they detach.
