Cancer Cell Migration: Integrated Roles of Matrix Mechanics and Transforming Potential
Significant progress has been achieved toward elucidating the molecular mechanisms that underlie breast cancer progression; yet, much less is known about the associated cellular biophysical traits. To this end, we use time-lapsed confocal microscopy to investigate the interplay among cell motility, three-dimensional (3D) matrix stiffness, matrix architecture, and transforming potential in a mam...
متن کاملTransforming potential and matrix stiffness co-regulate confinement sensitivity of tumor cell migration.
It is now well established that tumor cell invasion through tissue is strongly regulated by the microstructural and mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM). However, it remains unclear how these physical microenvironmental inputs are jointly processed with oncogenic lesions to drive invasion. In this study, we address this open question by combining a microfabricated polyacrylam...
متن کاملOn the 6 ́6 stiffness matrix for three dimensional motions
In this paper, methods of differential geometry and properties of Lie groups are used to show that in any conservative system subjected to a non zero external load, if one examines motions in SE(3), the special Euclidean group of rigid body motions in three dimensions, the resulting 6 ́6 stiffness matrix is asymmetric in any inertial (fixed) or body-fixed reference frame. We prove that in any su...
متن کاملCoupled Bending-Longitudinal Vibration of Three Layer Sandwich Beam using Exact Dynamic Stiffness Matrix
A Newtonian (vectorial) approach is used to develop the governing differential equations of motion for a three layer sandwich beam in which the uniform distribution of mass and stiffness is dealt with exactly. The model allows for each layer of material to be of unequal thickness and the effects of coupled bending and longitudinal motion are accounted for. This results in an eighth order ordina...
متن کاملDesign of Three-Dimensional Scaffolds with Tunable Matrix Stiffness for Directing Stem Cell Lineage Specification: An In Silico Study
Tissue engineering is a multi-disciplinary area of research bringing together the fields of engineering and life sciences with the aim of fabricating tissue constructs aiding in the regeneration of damaged tissues and organs. Scaffolds play a key role in tissue engineering, acting as the templates for tissue regeneration and guiding the growth of new tissue. The use of stem cells in tissue engi...
