Understanding the complex role of mechanical forces in development requires advanced approaches to measure and manipulate the forces, interactions and mechanosensitive signalling pathways during ...

Epithelial tissues are in constant interaction with their environment. Maintaining their functionality requires dynamic balance (homeostasis) and that their cell numbers are tightly regulated. This is ...

How does STEM knowledge learned in school change students’ brains? Using fMRI, we presented photographs of real-world structures to engineering students with classroom-based knowledge and hands-on lab ...

They have discovered a unique behavior of talin, induced by mechanical forces, that demonstrates a strong interaction that can explain the antitumor effect of DLC1 when the two proteins bind. "We ...

The Department of Physics and Engineering Physics offers major programs of lecture and laboratory instruction leading to the bachelor of science in physics and the bachelor of science in engineering ...

Intercellular forces generate distinct patterns of extrusion: high compressive forces (top panel) drive apoptotic cell extrusion toward the upper side, while lower compressive forces (bottom panel) ...
