O., Del Rosario, A., Butty, V. L., Holroyd, N., Domart, M.-C., Hooper, S., Szita, N., Boyer, L. A., …Moeendarbary, E. (2023). Emergent mechanical control of vascular morphogenesis. Science Advances, 9(32), Article eadg9781. https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.adg9781

Vascularization is driven by morphogen signals and mechanical cues that coordinately regulate cellular force generation, migration, and shape change to sculpt the developing vascular network. However, it remains unclear whether developing vasculature... Read More about Emergent mechanical control of vascular morphogenesis.

Hippocampus of the APP NL–G–F mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease exhibits region-specific tissue softening concomitant with elevated astrogliosis (2023)
Journal Article
Hall, C. M., Lasli, S., Serwinski, B., Djordjevic, B., Sheridan, G. K., & Moeendarbary, E. (2023). Hippocampus of the APP NL–G–F mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease exhibits region-specific tissue softening concomitant with elevated astrogliosis.

Widespread neurodegeneration, enlargement of cerebral ventricles, and atrophy of cortical and hippocampal brain structures are classic hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Prominent macroscopic disturbances to the cytoarchitecture of the AD brain o...

Advanced Science, 10(16), Article 2206554. https://doi.org/10.1002/advs.202206554

Cancer cell extravasation, a key step in the metastatic cascade, involves cancer cell arrest on the endothelium, transendothelial migration (TEM), followed by the invasion into the subendothelial extracellular matrix (ECM) of distant tissues. While c... Read More about Endothelium and Subendothelial Matrix Mechanics Modulate Cancer Cell Transendothelial Migration.
