Abstract: This paper explores the physical mechanisms responsible for the appearance of small blisters on the surface of temperature sensitive hydrogels as they deswell rapidly during their volume phase transition. For this, we develop a numerical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1055/a-1696-2503
Abstract: Chronic ankle instability arises from three interacting contributing factors: mechanical ankle instability, functional ankle instability, and perceived ankle instability. To decide on the most appropriate individual recommendation for therapeutic options, it is necessary to assess… read more here.

DOI: 10.7554/elife.43920
Abstract: Surface-attached bacterial communities called biofilms display a diversity of morphologies. Although structural and regulatory components required for biofilm formation are known, it is not understood how these essential constituents promote biofilm surface morphology. Here, using… read more here.
