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 ... -
From developmental biology to tissue-engineering: printing blood vessels
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death and often requires vascular reconstruction. However, the use of synthetic materials and scaffold-based approaches has shown several limitations for small-diameter blood ... -
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 ... -
Quantitative biological studies at cellular and sub-cellular level
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)We developed a translational magnetic tweezers for quantitative measurements at cellular and sub-cellular level. In the cellular studies, multiple membrane tethers were extracted simultaneously under constant force transduced ...
