The cells in human bodies are subject to both chemical and mechanical forces. But until recently, scientists have not understood much about how to manipulate the mechanical side of that equation. That ...
Understanding the complex role of mechanical forces in development requires advanced approaches to measure and manipulate the forces, interactions and mechanosensitive signalling pathways during ...
The Computational Engineering Physics Laboratory at Western Michigan University (WMU) engages in computational research in multidisciplinary engineering physics. Funding from various government and ...
Meet the team Left to right are Yu Yang, Matteo Fadel, Yiwen Chu and Igor Kladarić. They were the main researchers at ETH Zurich who created the groundbreaking mechanical qubit. (Courtesy: Yu Yang/ETH ...
How does STEM knowledge learned in school change students’ brains? Using fMRI, we presented photographs of real-world structures to engineering students with classroom-based knowledge and hands-on lab ...
Scientists in the Brivanlou lab used light-inducible gene expression (yellow circle) and embryo models to demonstrate that, at the start of gastrulation, body-axis formation requires an interplay ...
They have discovered a unique behavior of talin, induced by mechanical forces, that demonstrates a strong interaction that can explain the antitumor effect of DLC1 when the two proteins bind. "We ...
