An outstanding problem of cellular mechanics is how to relate changes on the cytoskeleton which result in modifications of the viscoelastic properties of the cells. This project proposal is to understand the mechanical behavior of actin fibers, the major component of cytoskeleton, by means of experiments and development of a computational model that describe it, in an attempt to understan…
The relationship between rheological properties of eukariotic cells and their most abundant proteic constituent, the F-actin, is an outstanding question in cellular mechanics. In this context, the experimental and theoretical study of actin polymeric networks was proposed as a Master Project. In this project, the experimental part consists in the rheological characterization of F-actin an…
