Mechanics inside the cell (MAE 263)
Mechanics inside the cell (MAE 263)
We will study quantitative models that describe the mechanics of processes relevant to eukaryotic cell functions such as cell migration or mechanotransduction. We cover methods to measure mechanical aspects cellular nature and behavior such as intracellular rheology, intracellular force distribution, cell adhesion strength, generation of propulsive forces during locomotion.
