πŸ”¬ INTRODUCING BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERINGπŸ§ͺ

We've created a brand-new page to share events, successes & updates from our community here at BME at University of Strathclyde!

We've delved into the archives to show you some vintage BME snapshots and history...

I didn't find a specific mechanotransduction starter pack, so I open one myself😊. There are still a lot of people to be added, but it's late, so please drop me a message or post here to nominate yourself for the Mechanotransduction community.

Hi! I'm Max. I'm developing a #biophysical model of #microtubules in #neurons during #development. The model is based on my surprising experimental finding (lots of live-cell imaging) that the entire microtubule array in neurites flows retrogradely into the soma: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... πŸ§ͺ πŸ§ πŸ“ˆ

Cells are strong & generate forces while interacting with their environment.

Traction Force Microscopy has been instrumental in measuring these forces, revealing the underlying mechanics. Let's explore pioneering papers in this 🧡by @onenimesa.bsky.social & @juliaeckert.bsky.social

This is a movie of actin filaments in a cultured cell. I like watching it and I hope you do to.
