Modeling of heterogeneous materials and media is a problem of fundamental importance to
a wide class of phenomena and systems, ranging from condensed matter physics, soft …

The past decade has seen substantial growth in research into how changes in the
biomechanical and biophysical properties of cells and subcellular structures influence, and …

Acoustic tweezers can control target movement through the momentum interaction between
an acoustic wave and an object. This technology has advantages over optical tweezers for …

We investigate connections between single-cell mechanical properties and subcellular
structural reorganization from biochemical factors in the context of two distinctly different …

As physical entities, living cells possess structural and physical properties that enable them
to withstand the physiological environment as well as mechanical stimuli occurring within …

The cellular detail of blood is an essential factor in its flow, especially in vessels or devices
with size comparable to that of its suspended cells. This article motivates and reviews …

Red blood cells (RBCs) possess a unique capacity for undergoing cellular deformation to
navigate across various human microcirculation vessels, enabling them to pass through …

Optical tweezers (OTs) are innovative instruments utilized for the manipulation of
microscopic biological objects of interest. Rapid improvements in precision and degree of …

Nanobiomechanics has recently been identified as an emerging field that can potentially
make significant contributions in the study of human diseases. Research into biomechanics …

We present a three-dimensional computational study of whole-cell equilibrium shape and
deformation of human red blood cell (RBC) using spectrin-level energetics. Random …
