Mechanobiology has underpinned many scientific advances in understanding how
biophysical and biomechanical cues regulate cell behavior by identifying mechanosensitive …

Forces are increasingly recognized as major regulators of cell structure and function, and
the mechanical properties of cells are essential to the mechanisms by which cells sense …

Cells face not only a complex biochemical environment but also a diverse biomechanical
environment. How cells respond to variations in mechanical forces is critical in homeostasis …

It is now widely appreciated that normal tissue morphology and function rely upon cells'
ability to sense and generate forces appropriate to their correct tissue context. Although the …

Computational techniques and software for the analysis of problems in mechanics have
naturally moved from their origins in the traditional engineering disciplines to the study of …

The topics of verification and validation have increasingly been discussed in the field of
computational biomechanics, and many recent articles have applied these concepts in an …

Measurements of mechanical properties of biological cells are of great importance because
changes in these properties can be strongly associated with the progression of cell …

This study reports the design, realization, and characterization of a multi-pole magnetic
tweezers that enables us to maneuver small magnetic probes inside living cells. So far …

Nuclei are often under external stress, be it during migration through tight constrictions or
compressive pressure by the actin cap, and the mechanical properties of nuclei govern their …

Known as the bible of biomedical engineering, The Biomedical Engineering Handbook,
Fourth Edition, sets the standard against which all other references of this nature are …
