Ion flow and membrane tension studies with optical tweezers and nanopipettes
… driven flows, the mechanical behaviour of cell membranes, and the electrical activity from various cells. Voltage driven, or electroosmotic, flow was quantified by measuring the piconewton forces of the flow field outside nanopipettes in diff erent salt conditions using optical tweezers. …

Experimental and Computational Modelling of Tissue Rheology and Mechanics in Morphogenesis
… tissue models designed to investigate how key cellular mechanical parameters interact with tissue material properties and active cell behaviour to drive tissue deformation in the context of biological development. Firstly, an experimental, three-dimensional tissue model is presented, which …

Biophysical properties of blood-stage Plasmodium falciparum malaria: from single-cell host-pathogen interactions to human protective polymorphisms
… initiated when parasites invade human red blood cells, then mature and multiply inside them in approximately 48 hours. The invasion process is completed in less than a minute and is one of the most crucial, yet least understood, phases of malaria infection. It also represents a brief window in …

Nodal organized cell dynamics for building tissue shapes in vertebrate gastrulation
… form as a result of large-scale collective cell changes. How cell dynamics and mechanics link molecular scale genetic changes to tissue scale developmental outcomes is a major unresolved question in biology. Nodal is a key developmental regulatory gene from the TGF-β family that induces …
