DOI: 10.1007/s10237-018-1004-0
Abstract: Cell contraction regulates how cells sense their mechanical environment. We sought to identify the set-point of cell contraction, also referred to as tensional homeostasis. In this work, bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs), cultured on substrates… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.devcel.2017.04.010
Abstract: Summary RhoA-mediated regulation of myosin-II activity in the actin cortex controls the ability of cells to contract and bleb during a variety of cellular processes, including cell migration and division. Cell contraction and blebbing also… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.add6550
Abstract: The giant single-celled eukaryote, Spirostomum, exhibits one of the fastest movements in the biological world. This ultrafast contraction is dependent on Ca2+ rather than ATP and therefore differs to the actin-myosin system in muscle. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.2147/vhrm.s290841
Abstract: Abstract Cardiovascular diseases have been recognized as the main cause of death all over the world. Recently, the established cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) has become known as an index of arterial stiffness of the arterial… read more here.
