RISStructural Mechanics Based Model for the Force-Bearing Elements Within the Cytoskeleton of a Cell Adhered on a Bed of Posts
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Mechanical forces play a vital role in the activities of cells and their interaction with biological and nonbiological material. Various experiments have successfully measured forces exerted by ...
An Analysis of the Cooperative Mechano-Sensitive Feedback Between Intracellular Signaling, Focal Adhesion Development, and Stress Fiber Contractility
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Cells communicate with their external environment via focal adhesions and generate activation signals that in turn trigger the activity of the intracellular contractile machinery. These signals ...
