DOI: 10.1002/adfm.202008172
Abstract: Porous membranes used in co‐culture enable the in vitro partitioning of cellular microenvironments, while still permitting physical and biochemical crosstalk between cells. Thus, features of the co‐culture membrane are crucial for recapitulating the physiological functions… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.211663
Abstract: The alignment of spindle-shaped cells in two-dimensional geometries induces singular points called topological defects, at which the alignment angle of the cell cannot be defined. To control defects related to biological roles such as cell… read more here.
