Hypertrophic scarring affects a large proportion of patients following burns, trauma, or surgery and arises from prolonged fibroblast hyperactivity and excessive extracellular matrix accumulation.

A synthetic tripeptide inspired by snake venom is opening new investigative routes into cellular signalling and structural ...

Unusually stiff colon tissue and collagen buildup in younger patients may promote faster tumor growth, offering clues for ...

Younger colorectal cancer patients have abnormally stiff colon tissue that promotes tumor growth, pointing to biomechanical ...

American engineers have developed a hyaluronic acid gel infused with tiny magnetic particles. They describe this gel not as a pharmaceutical, but as a “mechanoceutical,” meaning it targets pain ...

Dermatologists suggest face creams, serums and more for their collagen-boosting benefits.

Scientists have discovered that cells can sense far beyond the surfaces they touch. While individual cancer cells can probe about 10 microns ahead by tugging on surrounding collagen fibers, clusters ...

Macrophages are central to mechanobiology research: their physical characteristics-stiffness, adhesion, and ECM (extracellular matrix) sensing-are inextricably linked to their phenotypic polarization ...
