The International Undergraduate Scholarship ability of cells to the right sense, process and utilize the mechanical energy and the signal is very important for normal functioning of the whole organism. A number of serious illnesses, like cancer and Progeria, associated with known mechanical properties change problem provider. To reveal the mechanism behind the observed phenomena mechanobiological, we developed a new approach for quantitative analysis cellular mechanics by using 3D image-and frame-based model.
International Undergraduate Scholarship Within the scope of an ongoing multidisciplinary project, the relationship between genotype and phenotype of cell mechanics will be investigated systematically by means of high throughput screening, RNAi knockdowns of mechanical properties.http://www.callforpapersinfo.com
