  • Planar in vitromodels for wound closure stress the role of lamellipodial protrusions and purse-string contraction. Here the authors develop a 3D biomimetic model for tissue repair and show a mode of stromal closure that relies on whole tissue deformations, cell migration and matrix deposition.

  • In nature many microorganisms are able to change their shape to adapt to the changes in the environment. Inspired by this phenomenon, here Huang et al. build artificial microswimmers with body and flagellum made of programmable hydrogel-based materials incorporated with magnetic nanoparticles.

  • Experimental microsurgery techniques are powerful for studying embryonic development but require highly trained operators to achieve reproducible results. Here they develop a high precision robotic micromanipulation platform to systematically perturb the physical structure of the developing zebrafish embryo, revealing key insights on the mechanics of body axis morphogenesis.

  • The navigation of catheters through blood vessels requires flexible guiding wires that are pushable and tractable at the same time. Pancaldi et al. rely on hydrodynamic forces and magnetic torque in order to access even rather small capillaries with an ultraflexible magnetomechanical probe.

  • Minimally invasive procedures for tracking neural activity are important for understanding of neural networks. Here the authors describe microfabricated implants and windows that enable long-term recordings of motor circuit activity in Drosophila, allowing them to watch how neurons change their structure and activity over weeks.
