Brick Strex – A Robust Device Built of LEGO® Bricks for Mechanical Manipulation of Cells

2021-03-31

Abstract excerpt

Cellular forces, mechanics and other physical factors are important co-regulators of normal cell and tissue physiology. These cues are often misregulated in diseases such as cancer, where altered tissue mechanics contribute to the disease progression. Furthermore, intercellular tensile and compressive force related signaling is highlighted in collective cell behavior during development. However, the mechanistic un...
