Nanomechanics of cell membrane and cellular contacts in control and failing hearts

2019-01-01

Abstract excerpt

In recent years, a growing number of studies have shown that mechanical properties play an important role in both structure and function of cells. Heart is an extremely dynamic organ; therefore, cardiac myocytes are constantly subjected to a mechanical stress. To date, titin protein and collagen fibers were considered to be the main regulators of tissue Young's modulus, one of the standard measures of mechanical p...
