Integrated strain array for cellular mechanobiology studies

Integrated Approach for Cellular Manufacturing a Case Study (TECHNICAL NOTE)

To cope with fast changing customer requirements, industrial demands and to meet stringent specifications of customers Cellular Manufacturing Systems has become an effective tool in hands of manufacturers. Most of the published literature on cell formation earlier considers only the data available in the route sheets and ignored subproblems associated with cell formation. There is a need to dev...

An Integrated Asynchronous Cellular Array to Do Parallel Image Reconstruction

We show in this paper how it is possible to reconstruct an image, in a very parallel way. using an asynchronous cellular array, with real-time performance. After introducing the image reconstruction problem, we present the main reconstruction techniques and the sequential algorithms. Then, we explain the manner to process these algorithms on a network. We describe this new integrated parallel a...

Importance of reference gene selection for articular cartilage mechanobiology studies

OBJECTIVE Identification of genes differentially expressed in mechano-biological pathways in articular cartilage provides insight into the molecular mechanisms behind initiation and/or progression of osteoarthritis (OA). Quantitative PCR (qPCR) is commonly used to measure gene expression, and is reliant on the use of reference genes for normalisation. Appropriate validation of reference gene st...

Studies of Kinetochore Mechanobiology in Drosophila

Mechanobiology and the microcirculation: cellular, nuclear and fluid mechanics.

Endothelial cells are stimulated by shear stress throughout the vasculature and respond with changes in gene expression and by morphological reorganization. Mechanical sensors of the cell are varied and include cell surface sensors that activate intracellular chemical signaling pathways. Here, possible mechanical sensors of the cell including reorganization of the cytoskeleton and the nucleus a...
