    • Effects of aging on the biomechanical properties of the lung extracellular matrix: dependence on tissular stretch 

      Ulldemolins, Anna; Narciso, Maria; Sanz Fraile, Héctor; Otero, Jorge; Farré Ventura, Ramon; Gavara, Núria; Almendros, Isaac (Frontiers Media SA, 2024-04-05)
      Article
      Open Access
      Introduction: Aging induces functional and structural changes in the lung, characterized by a decline in elasticity and diminished pulmonary remodeling and regenerative capacity. Emerging evidence suggests that most ...

    • Silk-reinforced collagen hydrogels with raised multiscale stiffness for mesenchymal cells 3D culture 

      Sanz Fraile, Héctor; Amorós García de Valdecasas, Susana; Mendizabal, Irene; Galvez Monton, Carolina; Prat Vidal, Cristina; Bayés Genis, Antoni; Navajas Navarro, Daniel; Farré Ventura, Ramon; Otero, Jordi (2020-03-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      Type I collagen hydrogels are of high interest in tissue engineering. With the evolution of 3D bioprinting technologies, a high number of collagen-based scaffolds have been reported for the development of 3D cell cultures. ...

    • The force loading rate drives cell mechanosensing through both reinforcement and cytoskeletal softening 

      Andreu Arzuaga, Ion; Falcones Olarte, Bryan; Hurst, Sebastian; Chahare, Nimesh Ramesh; Quiroga Álvarez, Xarxa; Le Roux, Anabel-Lise; Kechagia, Zanetta; Beedle, Amy E.M.; Elósegui Artola, Alberto; Trepat Guixer, Xavier; Farré Ventura, Ramon (2021-07-09)
