The cellular energy system is a vital component of life, responsible for converting nutrients into usable energy within our cells. This intricate process primarily occurs in the mitochondria, often referred to as the powerhouse of the cell
Biomembrane mechanics involve the flexible, dynamic behavior of lipid bilayers that maintain cell integrity, mediate molecular transport, and enable cellular interactions by adapting to various forces and structural changes.
The cytoskeleton is a dynamic network of protein filaments that provides structural support, maintains cell shape, and facilitates intracellular transport and cellular movement. Its mechanics are driven by the coordinated assembly and disassembly of actin filaments
Mechanical are simplified representations that help describe and predict the behaviour of biochemical systems using physical principles. These models often use concepts like molecular interactions and reaction kinetics to simulate biological processes
Cell mechanics studies how cells generate, sense, and respond to mechanical forces, which influence cell shape, movement, and internal processes. Play vital role in tissue development, immune response, and disease progression
The mechanics of biopolymers involve understanding how biological macromolecules, like DNA, proteins, and polysaccharides, respond to physical forces. Their unique structural properties, including elasticity and flexibility
