Signalling through mechanical inputs: a coordinated process.
There is growing awareness that mechanical forces - in parallel to electrical or chemical inputs - have a central role in driving development and influencing the outcome of many diseases. However, we still have an incomplete understanding of how such forces function in coordination with each other and with other signalling inputs in vivo. Mechanical forces, which are generated throughout the or...
متن کاملIntegrated Vehicle Control via Coordinated Steering and Wheel Torque Inputs
A controller was developed to govern the lateral position of a highway-speed vehicle using frequencyweighted coordination of front steering and torque inputs. The MISO design problem was recast as a SISO approach by using a cascaded design technique: the first step determined the relative contribution of each control input as a function of frequency; secondary design steps utilized classical SI...
متن کاملNonlinear energy harvesting through a multimodal electro-mechanical system
A semi-analytical method is used to illustrate the behavior of a multimodal nonlinear electromechanical system which is under base-excitation. System is considered as piezo-ceramic patches attached to a cantilever beam coupled to a resistive load. The cantilever beam is modeled as a nonlinear Timoshenko beam using Assumed Mode method and equations of motion are derived through Lagrange's equati...
متن کاملIntracellular signalling as a parallel distributed process.
Living cells respond to their environment by means of an interconnected network of receptors, second messengers, protein kinases and other signalling molecules. This article suggests that the performance of cell signalling pathways taken as a whole has similarities to that of the parallel distributed process networks (PDP networks) used in computer-based pattern recognition. Using the response ...
متن کاملMechanical signaling through the cytoskeleton regulates cell proliferation by coordinated focal adhesion and Rho GTPase signaling.
The notion that cell shape and spreading can regulate cell proliferation has evolved over several years, but only recently has this been linked to forces from within and upon the cell. This emerging area of mechanical signaling is proving to be wide-spread and important for all cell types. The microenvironment that surrounds cells provides a complex spectrum of different, simultaneously active,...
