Our new review articulates why anisotropic structures are essential and why active nematics provide the appropriate framework for thinking about their construction. It offers...
This work presents a simplified platform to discern how phenotype and local mechanical heterogeneity impact cellular behavior, through mechanical sensing and feedback....
We implement a strategy to embed dermal fibroblasts in collagen in contact with anisotropic hydrogel fibers. These fibroblasts generate traction forces and remodel the...
The 102nd New England Complex Fluids at Yale University was a success! Thanks to all the invited speakers and soundbite contributors who contributed to this vibrant...
The New England Complex Fluids (NECF) Workshop is officially coming to Yale on March 7, 2025. Please register early at: https://www.complexfluids.org/necf/index.php, and...
Yuxin’s work on cell shape prediction by gelation time has been published in Soft Matter. We present an efficient method for investigating kinetics of gelling system,...
We demonstrated, among others, the ability to automatically find gelation time from a collection of probe displacement videos, without manual shifting of the MSD curves, and...
