Experimental and computational investigation of the active force generation of cells subjected to static and dynamic loading
(2016-05-13)The development of a mechanistic understanding of the processes by which cells sense and actively respond to the mechanical environment would represent a significant advance in the fields of biomechanics and tissue ... -
Experimental Investigation of the Response of Osteoblasts to Static and Dynamic Loading using a Modified Atomic Force Microscope
(2013-02-07)Cells and tissues continuously experience mechanical loading during daily activity. However, the mechanisms by which cells respond to mechanical stimuli are poorly understood. The focus of this thesis is to develop atomic ...
