On the role of the actin cytoskeleton and nucleus in the biomechanical response of spread cells
(Elsevier, 2014-02-11)
Micropipette aspiration (MA) has been used extensively in biomechanical investigations of un-adhered cells suspended in media. In the current study, a custom MA system is developed to aspirate substrate adhered spread ...
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 ...
