Mammalian cells measure the extracellular matrix area and respond through switching the adhesion state by Xiaole Wang, Pengli Wang, Lihang Zhang, Tianyu Xu, Seungkuk Ahn, Upnishad Sharma, Han Yu, Nico Strohmeyer, Daniel J. Müller

“…HeLa cells and mouse embryonic fibroblasts gradually increase adhesion with collagen I or fibronectin area, while reaching maximum adhesion force to ECM patterns having areas above certain thresholds. On much smaller patterns, both cell types switch to a different state and considerably increase the adhesion force per ECM protein area, which they strengthen much faster. …”

Dynamic monitoring of fine-grained ecological vulnerability in dryland urban agglomeration integrating novel remote sensing index and explainable machine learning by Chunqiang Li, Shanchuan Guo, Qin Huang, Haowei Mu, Bo Yuan, Zilong Xia, Hong Fang, Wei Zhang, Pengfei Tang, Peijun Du

“…However, persistent technological gaps in large-scale, fine-grained and long-term monitoring hinder a comprehensive understanding of vulnerability patterns in these fragile regions. To address this, a novel Dryland Ecological Vulnerability Index (DEVI) is proposed by integrating six key indicators and combining remote sensing and machine learning to simplify the complex vulnerability scoping diagram (VSD). …”
