Abstract

The mechanical behavior of individual cells presents a variety of problems of interest in many different biologic phenomena. The rheology of single red blood cells is well developed, and passive properties of leukocytes and endothelial cells are currently being explored. Dynamic aspects of single-cell mechanics, including growth, cell division, active motion, contractile mechanisms, phagocytosis, and locomotion, offer many challenging aspects to be analyzed. Transduction mechanisms of neurosensory cells and mechanical stresses and damage of neural structures are relatively unexplored.

Biomechanics

Biomechanics examines the generation of internal forces within the body and investigates the effects and control of forces that act on or are produced on tissues. Here are the latest discoveries.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
