Physical mechanisms of cell rearrangements: from tissue liquidity to artificial organ structures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
This research presents a study of biological self-assembly in which we create 3D living functional tissue structures by exploiting the self organizing capacity of cells and tissues. Tissues composed of adhesive and motile ...
Cell mechanics studied using atomic force microscopy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Cholesterol plays an indispensable role in regulating the properties of the cell membrane. In particular, lipid rafts, specific membrane domains, which are thought to be required for a number of cell functions, such as ...
