Mechanical signaling.
In order to determine design criteria for tissue engineering, it is necessary to understand how complex physiological pathways function within the physical context of real tissues. It is recognized that tissue patterning and architecture are influenced by sequential activation of gene expression and metabolic pathways; however they are also significantly affected by mechanical factors. Mechanic...
متن کاملAssociation of NEDD9 with TGF-β-triggered epithelialmesenchymal transition and cell invasion in prostate cancer cells: implications for cancer aggressiveness
NEDD9 belongs to the Cas (Crk-associated substrate) family, proteins of which mediate downstream signaling processes including cell-cycle, tumorigenesis and cytoskeletal organization. In epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), NEDD9 plays an important role, but the functional mechanism underlying NEDD9-mediated EMT in prostate cancer (PCa) remains uncertain. Recently we confirmed that NEDD9 is...
متن کاملMechanical Model of Globular Transition in Polymers
In complex, multicomponent systems, polymers often undergo phase transitions between distinct conformations. This paper reports a millimeter-scale granular model of coil-to-globule transitions: one “polymer” chain—a cylinders-on-a-string “pearl necklace”—and many spheres, all shaken on a horizontal surface. It is possible to describe the behavior of this granular system by using formalisms gene...
متن کاملMechanical regulation of signaling pathways in bone.
A wide range of cell types depend on mechanically induced signals to enable appropriate physiological responses. The skeleton is particularly dependent on mechanical information to guide the resident cell population towards adaptation, maintenance and repair. Research at the organ, tissue, cell and molecular levels has improved our understanding of how the skeleton can recognize the functional ...
متن کاملChemical and mechanical signaling in epithelial spreading.
We propose a minimal mathematical model to explain long-range coordination of dynamics of multiple cells in epithelial spreading, which may be induced, under different conditions, by a chemical signal, or mechanically induced strain, or both. The model is based on chemo-mechanical interactions including a chemical effect of strain, chemically induced polarization and active traction, and intera...
