SUMMARY:Dr. Shelly Tzlil Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Technion – Isr
 ael Institute of Technology [No Categories]
DESCRIPTION:Location:   \n Affiliation: \n Host:\n  ‘‘Cell Mechanosensi
 ng and Mechanical communication’’                 \nAbstract: \n Inter
 actions between cells and their surrounding matrix play defining roles in 
 biological processes. The biological cell can be thought of as a 'living r
 heometer' continuously probing the mechanical properties of its environmen
 t by exerting contractile forces through the actomyosin machinery. These t
 ension forces are transmitted to the extracellular matrix through transmem
 brane receptors which link the surrounding matrix to the actin cytoskeleto
 n. It is clear by now that substrate mechanical properties strongly influe
 nce cell behavior. Furthermore\, recent lines of evidence indicate that ce
 lls can respond to mechanical deformations generated by neighboring cells.
  The basis for this phenomenon and the role of mechanical communication be
 tween cells through the matrix is unknown. In my talk\, I will describe th
 e progress made in our lab focusing on the role of cell mechanosensing in 
 cardiac cell synchronized beating. In addition I will describe our progres
 s towards design of protein-engineered biomaterials that promote mechanica
 l coupling between cells.\n\n מארח: פרופ' יהודה אסרף  \n\
