Mechanotransduction: the role of mechanical stress, myocyte shape, and cytoskeletal architecture on cardiac function
(Springer Nature, 2011)Mechanotransduction refers to the conversion of mechanical forces into biochemical or electrical signals that initiate structural and functional remodeling in cells and tissues. The heart is a kinetic organ whose form ... -
A Possible Role for Integrin Signaling in Diffuse Axonal Injury
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2011)Over the past decade, investigators have attempted to establish the pathophysiological mechanisms by which non-penetrating injuries damage the brain. Several studies have implicated either membrane poration or ion channel ... -
Self-Organization of Muscle Cell Structure and Function
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2011)The organization of muscle is the product of functional adaptation over several length scales spanning from the sarcomere to the muscle bundle. One possible strategy for solving this multiscale coupling problem is to ...
