This study shows that tunable yield stress in biomaterials affects organoid morphogenesis, with optimal yield stress promoting specific developmental features.

This paper introduces a heart-on-a-chip platform with ultrasoft mechanosensors to measure cell- and tissue-scale contractile stresses, showing that ECM composition affects contractility and drug responses.

The paper shows that mechanical compressive forces enhance fusion in trophoblast cell cultures, suggesting a role for biomechanics in placental development.
