Tools to Study Cell Mechanics and Mechanotransduction
Tools to Study Cell Mechanics and Mechanotransduction is a scholarly work by Julia E Sero, Darryl R. Overby, and Donald E. Ingber, published in 2007 in ''Methods in Cell Biology''. The main subjects of the publication include Micro contact printing, biophysics, nanotechnology, cytoskeleton, cell, nanolithography, cell mechanics, atomic force microscopy, glossary of biology, cytometry, biology, neuroscience, mechanotransduction, cell biology, and computational biology. The authors have confronted this challenge by developing new engineering methods to measure and manipulate the mechanical properties of cells and their internal cytoskeletal and nuclear frameworks, and by combining them with molecular cell biological techniques that rely on microscopic analysis and real-time optical readouts of biochemical signaling.
