The cells that make up our bodies are constantly exposed to a wide variety of mechanical stresses. For example, the heart and lungs have to withstand lifelong expansion and contraction, our skin has ...

Cells exist in three dimensions, and they have a dynamic skeleton and filaments that help them maintain and stabilize their form and structure. The molecules that create the cellular cytoskeleton, ...

Living cells are constantly exposed to a wide variety of mechanical stresses: heart and lungs must withstand expansion and contraction; our skin must be resistant to tearing whilst retaining ...
