Our lab will collaborate with Dr. Govind Srimathveeravalli to investigate whether mechanical stimulation or the activation of certain mechanosensitive pathways can facilitate cell regeneration and eventually generate functional bladder tissue. Check the MIE news.

Condensation tendency and tissue stiffness gradient drives cell alignment
Our newest eLife paper, in collaboration with Dr. Min Wu @ WPI, established that cell alignment in a confined monolayer in mechanical equilibrium states can be regulated by a condensation tendency (prestretch) and a tissue stiffness gradient. Congratulations to all the authors!
