Mechanical control of epithelial lumen formation
Epithelial cells differentiate and polarize to build complete epithelial organs during development. The study of epithelial morphogenesis is instrumental to the understanding of disease processes where epithelial polarity is disrupted. Recently, we demonstrated that matrix-induced cell confinement controls the acquisition of three-dimensional epithelial polarity, by modulating the initiation of...
متن کاملOpto-mechanical Control of Nerve Growth
A variety of biochemical and biophysical cues have been investigated with the goal of promoting regenerative ability of peripheral nerves. Among those neurotrophic factors, topography, and electrical stimulation have been proposed to enhance nerve growth. This thesis explores optogenetic neural stimulation as a means to control neurite growth that promises greater cell-type specificity than com...
متن کاملDynamic Mechanical Response of Epithelial Cells to Epidermal Growth Factor
As a viscoelastic body, the cell exhibits both elastic and viscous characteristics (Kasza, 07). Although these mechanical properties have not been attributed wholly to a single element, such as the cytoskeletal network, the cytoplasm, the cell membrane, or the extracellular network (Janmey et al., 2007), it is agreed that they are determined predominantly by the cytoskeleton, a network of biopo...
متن کاملMechanical failure: Imaging cracks in hostile regimes.
Our understanding of the physical world has progressed hand in hand with our ability to observe it. For instance, computer tomography (CT) — which was originally developed for medical imaging — has been instrumental in the non-destructive testing of materials. In CT, a digital three-dimensional replica of the object under observation is reconstructed from hundreds or thousands of twodimensional...
متن کاملcontrol of the optical properties of nanoparticles by laser fields
در این پایان نامه، درهمتنیدگی بین یک سیستم نقطه کوانتومی دوگانه(مولکول نقطه کوانتومی) و میدان مورد مطالعه قرار گرفته است. از آنتروپی ون نیومن به عنوان ابزاری برای بررسی درهمتنیدگی بین اتم و میدان استفاده شده و تاثیر پارامترهای مختلف، نظیر تونل زنی(که توسط تغییر ولتاژ ایجاد می شود)، شدت میدان و نسبت دو گسیل خودبخودی بر رفتار درجه درهمتنیدگی سیستم بررسی شده اشت.با تغییر هر یک از این پارامترها، در...
