Endothelial mechanobiology
Ming He, Marcy Martin, Traci Marin, Zhen Chen, Brendan Gongol
This narrative review explores how the cells lining our blood vessels, called endothelial cells, respond to the mechanical forces of blood flow. It describes two main patterns: smooth, pulsatile flow in straight vessels…

Local Vibration Stimuli Induce Mechanical Stress-Induced Factors and Facilitate Recovery From Immobilization-Induced Oxidative Myofiber Atrophy in Rats
Fusako Usuki, Masatake Fujimura, Atsushi Nakamura, Jiro Nakano, Minoru Okita, Itsuro Higuchi
This study on rats investigated whether local vibration could help muscles recover after being immobilized. Researchers put a cast on one hindlimb of the rats for a week to induce muscle atrophy. After removing the cast…

Mechanobiology of cells and cell systems, such as organoids
Ece Bayir, Aylin Sendemir, Yannis F Missirlis
This review discusses organoids, which are three-dimensional tissues grown in a lab that self-organize to mimic organ development. While organoids offer great potential for disease modeling and drug development, little…

Cell Biology: Function Guides Form of Auditory Sensory Cells
Jamis McGrath, Benjamin J Perrin
This study describes how the sensory cells in our ears get their specific shape. These cells have bundles of tiny hair-like structures called stereocilia, arranged like a staircase in rows of decreasing height. The proc…

Fascial Nomenclature: An Update
Bruno Bordoni, Stevan Walkowski, Bruno Morabito, Matthew A Varacallo
This review article discusses the ongoing challenge of creating a single, comprehensive definition for fascia. The authors argue that different scientific and clinical fields view fascia through their own unique lenses,…
