Molecular dynamics and force generation: shedding new light on cell mechanosensing and communication Hasselt University
Microscopic analysis of forces generated by cells and forces acting on cells is a promising approach to study the role of mechanical properties in cell-ECM interactions and consequently cellular behavior. The nanoscale characterization of cell-ECM interactions requires a synergistic cooperation of multiple disciplines, including physics, chemistry, biomedical engineering, computational science, optics, biology, etc. In this project we plan to ...
