Collagen is the most abundant protein in mammals, making up skin, bone, tendons and other soft tissues. Its fibrous nature helps cells to move throughout the body, but until now, it wasn't clear how ...

Researchers find cell migration doesn't only rely on generating force. A professor of mechanical engineering and materials science found that groups of cells moved faster with lower force when adhered ...

Its fibrous nature helps cells to move throughout the body, but until now, it wasn't clear how the length of fibers influences how cells move in groups. Amit Pathak, a mechanical engineer in the ...

Cancer cells may evade the immune response thanks to a special type of collagen, scientists reported in a new study published in the July 21, 2022, issue of Cancer Cell. Researchers at The University ...

In mechanobiology, cells' forces have been considered fundamental to their enhanced function, including fast migration. But a group of researchers in the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington ...

Biotech start-up JellaTech proudly unveiled the first sample of cell-based collagen ever be seen outside a laboratory at the recent Bühler Networking Days event in Uzwil, Switzerland. Why cell-based ...

Engineers have shown that the length of collagen fibers has a roll to play in the ability of normal cells to become invasive. Collagen is the most abundant protein in mammals, making up skin, bone, ...
