DOI: 10.1016/j.cocis.2019.11.011
Abstract: Abstract In this review, I summarize recent experimental investigations of surface and friction forces between bottlebrush structure macromolecules including biolubricants and biomimetic ones by direct force measurements. I also discuss recent experimental investigations of synergy… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.devcel.2021.09.024
Abstract: Surface receptors of animal cells, such as integrins, promote mechanosensation by forming clusters as signaling hubs that transduce tensile forces. Walled cells of plants and fungi also feature surface sensors, with long extracellular domains that… read more here.
