In November 2025, Dr. Costanza Giampietro was an invited speaker at the 16th International Congress on Skin Ageing in Valencia. She presented on how multiscale skin biomechanics influence fibroblast behavior. Combining mechanical measurements, modeling, and bioreactor experiments, her work showed solid- and liquid-phase cues regulate cellular signaling and gene expression, highlighting potential biomechanical strategies to counteract skin aging.
Bravo to Raphael Jakob for successfully defending the thesis "Biomechanical analysis of the endothelium" on October 31, 2025! Congratulations and best wishes for your future plans!
Understanding the mechanical properties of collagen hydrogels is essential for successful applications in tissue engineering and 3D cell culture. This study compares the mechanical behavior of two collagen hydrogel sheets with similar collagen content but different microstructures...
