Cytoskeletal Mechanics and Cellular Mechanotransduction: A Molecular Perspective
Cells are highly complex structures with unique physiology and biomechanical properties. A multiscale multiphysics methodology is required to properly understand the intrinsically coupled mechanobiology of the cell and describe its macroscopic response to externally applied stresses. This indeed is both a challenge and an excellent research opportunity. This chapter reviews the latest advanceme...
متن کاملCellular basis of mechanotransduction.
Physical forces, such as those due to gravity, are fundamental regulators of tissue development. To influence morphogenesis, mechanical forces must alter growth and function. Yet little is known about how cells convert mechanical signals into a chemical response. This presentation attempts to place the potential molecular mediators of mechanotransduction within the context of the structural com...
متن کاملCellular mechanotransduction: stiffness does matter.
triplet excitons of the guests by restricting their molecular motion at room temperature and preventing them from exposure to detrimental species such as oxygen and moisture 7–10. The formation of the long-lived triplet excitons of A through efficient energy transfer from the T 1 state of D allows for effective accumulation of excitons in the T 1 state of A on irradiation of the composite films...
متن کاملHigh-throughput optical screening of cellular mechanotransduction
We introduce an optical platform for rapid, high-throughput screening of exogenous molecules that affect cellular mechanotransduction. Our method initiates mechanotransduction in adherent cells using single laser-microbeam generated micro-cavitation bubbles (μCBs) without requiring flow chambers or microfluidics. These μCBs expose adherent cells to a microTsunami, a transient microscale burst o...
متن کاملFlow-dependent cellular mechanotransduction in atherosclerosis.
Atherosclerosis depends on risk factors such as hyperlipidemia, smoking, hypertension and diabetes. Although these risk factors are relatively constant throughout the arterial circulation, atherosclerotic plaques occur at specific sites where flow patterns are disturbed, with lower overall magnitude and complex changes in speed and direction. Research over the past few decades has provided new ...
