Endothelial cells line blood vessels and continuously remodel their intercellular contacts during processes such as inflammation, wound healing, and vascular remodeling. At endothelial adherens junctions, vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin) connects neighboring cells and links the cell–cell interface to the actin...

This research presents an experimental investigation of a planar robotic swimmer with a passive elastic joint. Bio-inspired robotic swimmers have been widely studied as a means of understanding aquatic locomotion and developing efficient underwater robotic systems. Previous studies investigated fully...

High-performance amorphous polymers, such as Polyetherimide (PEI / Ultem 1000), are increasingly vital in demanding aerospace and structural mechanical applications. However, predicting their plastic failure under multiaxial stress states remains a critical design challenge, as classical metal-based criteria fail to...
