These results, together with responses to sinusoidal mechanical deformation of the membranous ducts, showed that transduction mechanisms remain viable.
Although mechanisms regulating mesothelial receptivity have not been fully investigated, mechanical deformation of the mesothelium caused by accumulated ascites fluid may expose submesothelial matrix and/or modulate surface-expressed proteins on mesothelial cells themselves [ 130].
Thermoreceptors are infrequently excited by mechanical deformation of the skin.
One of the causes can be direct mechanical deformation of the muscle tissue and cell.
However, the mechanical deformation of proteins and nucleic acids may provide key insights for understanding the changes in cellular structure, response and function under force, and offer new opportunities for the diagnosis and treatment of disease.
Three modes of mechanical deformation of α-Ta4AlC3 are observed: lattice bending, kinking and delamination.
The mechanical deformation of conductive polymer composites during melt processing affects their final electrical properties considerably.
In this study, we used gentle mechanical deformation of developing zebrafish embryos to probe the role of physical forces in generating long-range intercellular coordination during epiboly, the process in which the blastoderm spreads over the yolk cell.
A numerical model was proposed to correlate the current transient during loading with mechanical deformation of the passive surface.
Fiber formation from highly stretched melt and mechanical deformation of the fiber are investigated by molecular dynamics simulations.
Bone is a dynamic tissue that can adapt its architecture in response to mechanical signals under the control of osteocytes, which sense mechanical deformation of the mineralized bone.
