Researchers seek to get a deeper understanding of cell mechanism
Representative Image | Pixabay Cells sense and respond to the mechanical properties of the cellular microenvironment in the body. Changes in these properties, which occur in a number of human pathologies, including cancer, can elicit abnormal responses from cells but how the cells adapt to such changes in the mechanical microenvironment is not well understood. A team of researchers at Texas A and M University are working to understand cellular mechanosensing- the ability to sense and respond to the mechanical properties of the microenvironment- in a unique way.
