Scope
Mechanobiology is a scientific field that studies the role of physical force in life phenomena. Recent studies in this field shed light on the significance of force, comparable to conventional chemical and biochemical cues, in the regulation of various biological and pathological processes. Our group develops new materials for understanding and controlling cellular mechanobiology, especially in cell migration, stem cell differentiation, and apoptosis. Our final goal is to use these materials for drug discovery, tissue engineering, and cancer therapy.
