Influence of substrate stiffness on the phenotype of heart cells
Bashir Bhana,Rohin K. Iyer,Wen Li Kelly Chen,Ruogang Zhao,Krista L. Sider,Morakot Likhitpanichkul,Craig A. Simmons,Milica Radisic +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of substrate mechanical stiffness on the heart cell phenotype and functional properties was investigated using 3, 22, 50, and 144-kPa polyacrylamide (PA) gel stiffness.

YAP and TAZ control peripheral myelination and the expression of laminin receptors in Schwann cells
Yannick Poitelon,Camila Lopez-Anido,Kathleen K. Catignas,Caterina Berti,Marilena Palmisano,Courtney Williamson,Dominique Ameroso,Kansho Abiko,Yoonchan Hwang,Alex Gregorieff,Jeffrey L. Wrana,Mohammadnabi Asmani,Ruogang Zhao,Fraser J. Sim,Lawrence Wrabetz,John Svaren,Maria Laura Feltri +16 more
TL;DR: Yap and Taz are activated in Schwann cells by mechanical stimuli and regulate Schwann cell proliferation and transcription of basal lamina receptor genes, both necessary for radial sorting of axons and subsequent myelination.

Fibrotic microtissue array to predict anti-fibrosis drug efficacy
Mohammadnabi Asmani,Sanjana Velumani,Yan Li,Nicole Wawrzyniak,Isaac Hsia,Zhaowei Chen,Boris Hinz,Ruogang Zhao +7 more
TL;DR: A tissue-on-a-chip model of lung fibrosis is developed and the therapeutic efficacy of two recent FDA-approved drugs are tested to highlight the pathophysiologically relevant modeling capability of the novel fibrotic microtissue system.
Dispersible hydrogel force sensors reveal patterns of solid mechanical stress in multicellular spheroid cultures
Wontae Lee,Nikita Kalashnikov,Stephanie Mok,Ruba Halaoui,Elena Kuzmin,Andrew J. Putnam,Shuichi Takayama,Shuichi Takayama,Morag Park,Luke McCaffrey,Ruogang Zhao,Richard L. Leask,Richard L. Leask,Christopher Moraes +13 more
TL;DR: These stresses develop through cell-driven mechanical compaction at the tissue periphery, and suggest that the tissue formation process plays a critically important role in specifying mechanobiological function.
Measurement of layer-specific mechanical properties in multilayered biomaterials by micropipette aspiration.
TL;DR: This study provides practical guidelines for the use of Micropipette aspiration to measure the mechanical properties of single layers in intact multilayer biomaterials and tissues.
