MEEG 481 - Cytomechanics

Credit(s): 3
CYTOMECHANICS
Component: Lecture
Cell, the universal unit of life, behaves as a “mechanical living” entity. Besides sensing “smell or taste” mediated by chemical reactions, cells also display a strong sense of “touch” mediated by mechanical interactions. Mechanics is involved in many fundamental processes such as cell shape, mobility, and differentiation. In this course, the students will be exposed to the principles of cytomechancis and the fascinating cellular responses and adaptation to the mechanical environment.
