Abstract Quantifying the mechanical response of biological milieu (such as cell’s interior) and complex fluids biomolecular condensates) would enable a better understanding cellular differentiation aging accelerate drug discovery. Here we present time-shared optical tweezer microrheology to determine frequency- age-dependent viscoelastic properties materials. Our approach involves splitting single laser beam into two near-instantaneous traps carry out simultaneous force displacement measurements quantify ranging from millipascals kilopascals across five decades frequency. To create practical robust nanorheometer, leverage both numerical analytical models analyse typical deviations ideal behaviour offer solutions account for these discrepancies. We demonstrate versatility technique by measuring liquid–solid phase transitions MEC-2 stomatin CPEB4 condensates, intracellular compartments zebrafish progenitor cells.

The interplay between mechanical stimuli and cellular mechanobiology orchestrates the physiology of tissues organs in a dynamic balance characterized by constant remodelling adaptative processes. Environmental properties can be interpreted as complex set information instructions that cells read continuously, to which they respond. In cirrhosis, chronic inflammation injury drive liver dysfunction, leading excessive extracellular matrix deposition, sinusoidal pseudocapillarization, vascular occlusion parenchymal extinction. These pathological events result marked microarchitecture, is cause abnormal environmental forces, triggering sustaining long-standing progressive process fibrosis. Multiple forces such strain, shear stress, hydrostatic pressure converge at different stages disease until reaching point no return where fibrosis considered non-reversible. Thereafter, reciprocal communication their niches becomes driving force for progression. Accumulating evidence supports idea that, rather than being passive consequence portal hypertension (PH), force-mediated pathways could themselves represent strategic targets novel therapeutic approaches. this manuscript, we aim provide comprehensive review PH, furnishing an introduction on most important mechanisms, integrating these concepts into discussion pathogenesis exploring potential strategies.

Perturbations in lipid and protein homeostasis induce endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly known as nonalcoholic fatty disease. Lipotoxic proteotoxic can activate the unfolded response (UPR) transducers: inositol requiring enzyme1α, PKR-like ER kinase, activating transcription factor 6α. Collectively, these pathways expression of genes that encode functions to resolve folding defect by increasing capacity degradation misfolded proteins. The is also intimately connected with metabolism, including de novo ceramide synthesis, phospholipid cholesterol droplet formation. Following their activation, UPR transducers regulate lipogenic liver. With persistent stress, cellular adaptation fails, resulting hepatocyte apoptosis, a pathological marker In addition ER–nucleus signaling activated UPR, interact other organelles via membrane contact sites.
