Cellular contractility and substrate elasticity: a numerical investigation of the actin cytoskeleton and cell adhesion
(Springer Verlag, 2013-06-18)
Numerous experimental studies have established that cells can sense the stiffness of underlying substrates and have quantified the effect of substrate stiffness on stress fibre formation, focal adhesion area, cell traction, ...
Experimental and computational investigation of the role of stress fiber contractility in the resistance of osteoblasts to compression
(2013)
The mechanical behavior of the actin cytoskeleton has previously been investigated using both experimental and computational techniques. However, these investigations have not elucidated the role the cytoskeleton plays in ...
An experimental and computational investigation of the post-yield behaviour of trabecular bone during vertebral device subsidence
(Springer-Verlag, 2013)
Interbody fusion device subsidence has been reported clinically. An enhanced understanding of the mechanical behaviour of the surrounding bone would allow for accurate predictions of vertebral subsidence. The multiaxial ...
