Cellular Mechanics

Cellular mechanics studies how cells generate, transmit, and respond to physical forces to maintain their structure and carry out functions. It involves understanding how components like the cytoskeleton create tension and support, how cells interact with their environment, and how mechanical signals influence processes such as growth, movement, and division. By examining these physical interactions, researchers gain insight into cellular behavior, tissue development, and disease progression, helping to develop targeted therapies and bioengineering approaches.
