Why Mechanics Matter in Biology

When we think about biology, we often picture molecular interactions, gene expression pathways, and biochemical reactions. But what if we told you that one of the most fundamental regulators of cell fate is not chemical — it's mechanical?

What Is NeoMag and Why Is It Different?

When traditional research methods fall short in replicating the complexity of biological tissues, innovation becomes essential. Enter NeoMag, the first patented magneto-mechanical platform developed by 60Nd—a spin-off from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid—that provides non-invasive, precise, and dynamic mechanical stimuli to cells and tissues in vitro.

The Science Behind Ultra-Soft MAPs: Why Stiffness Matters

60Nd’s ultra-soft magneto-active polymers (<1 kPa) bridge the gap between static lab models and real human tissue, enabling precise, non-invasive mechanical stimulation of cells.
