| Abstract | Mesenchymal stem cells play a key role in the repair and regeneration of musculoskeletal tissues. Physical activities like walking and running enhance healing by influencing these cells. Mimicking these mechanical signals offers a promising avenue for creating biotechnologies that accelerate tissue regeneration, reduce medical costs, and improve quality of life. However, designing precise mechanical signals to guide healing and regeneration at the cellular level remains a challenge. This award s |
