Combining global and local force measurements of reconstituted muscle tissue using a new chamber system that is compatible with high-resolution microscopy shows mechanical homeostasis already within a week.

A user-friendly, and modular, 3D skeletal muscle culture assay enables iterative studies of murine muscle stem cell pool size regulation, functional heterogeneity, return to quiescence, and age-associated functional defects within a 96-well footprint.

Nuclear pore complex mimics based on solid-state nanopores show significant selectivity below a diameter of 55 nm, which decreases gradually for larger pore diameters.

Building on previous work (Vogel et al., 2013b), it is shown that myosin-driven actin filament rearrangements actively move, split or fuse individual lipid domains and change their overall shape.

Fish in the thrust wake of a flapping foil reduce tail-beat frequencies, synchronize with oncoming vortices, and swim energetically more efficiently.

Biomimetic nanopores reveal that the sequence-dependent spatial distribution of intrinsically disordered proteins plays a crucial role in establishing the selective permeability barrier of the nuclear pore complex.

A bioengineering approach identifies tissue morphology as an effective variable for controlling the inception of neural organoid morphogenesis via induction of a biomimetic, singular neural rosette tissue cytoarchitecture.

The loading-induced temperature evolution phenomenon in the knee joint modulates chondrogenic cells response to loading and accordingly opens a new paradigm that is coined 'thermo-mechanobiology'.

Eutherian CD4 evolved counterbalancing motifs in the extracellular, transmembrane, and intracellular domains that regulate CD4⁺ T cell responses to peptide antigens presented by class II MHC (pMHCII).

Fully incorporating our current understanding of vestibular neurophysiology into prosthesis design and clinical application will be integral to the development of the next generation of vestibular prostheses.
