Abstract: During embryogenesis of all vertebrates, haematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) extrude from the aorta by a complex process named endothelial-to-haematopoietic transition (EHT). HSPCs will then colonize haematopoietic organs allowing haematopoiesis throughout adult life. The mechanism underlying… read more here.

Abstract: The characteristic surface morphology of the mammalian brain is closely correlated with brain function and dysfunction. During development, the initially smooth surface evolves into an elaborately convoluted pattern. Growing evidence suggests that mechanical instabilities emerging… read more here.

Abstract: Thermoplastic polymers subjected to a continuous tensile stress experience a state of mechanical instabilities, resulting in neck formation and propagation. The necking process with strong localized strain enables the transformation of initially brittle polymeric materials… read more here.

DOI: 10.1039/d2sm00304j
Abstract: Drying-induced mechanical instabilities in aqueous solution droplets occur primarily because, during evaporation, the central liquid minimizes the surface tension by pulling the packed gel-like region, leading to a stretching effect of the liquid region at… read more here.
