Mechanics of collective cell migration on substrates of different stiffness
Collective cell migration is characteristic in many physiological processes such as wound closure, morphogenesis, and cancer tumour metastasis. Experiments on cell monolayers demonstrated the formation of finger-like ... -
Mechanobiology of cell-substrate interactions
Cell adhesion to substrates is a complex process facilitated by focal adhesion (FA) complexes that help them perform vital cellular functions like migration, growth, and division. Cells probe their surroundings through ... -
Modeling Of Transport Phenomena In Arteries
(2013-05-23)Atherosclerosis is an arterial disease that occurs due to the build-up of lipids, cholesterol and other substances in the arterial wall, collectively called plaque, leading to narrowing of the vessel lumen and, in time, ... -
Role of Microstructure in the Mechanics of Soft Matter
(2018-07-16)Materials which exhibit non-linear mechanical behaviors under large deformations are generally classified as “soft matter”. Elastomers represent an important class of soft materials which have wide commercial applications ...
