Imaging Drosophila embryo gastrulation to identify stress fields and biomechanical feedback
Several potential mechanisms of mechanical coordination of the constriction of the cell apices in groups of cells have been proposed. Our previous computational studies have shown a connection between tensile mechanical feedback and Cellular Constriction Chains (CCCs) that propagate during the …

Mechanisms of Early Brain Morphogenesis
In structures with obvious mechanical function, like the heart and bone, the relationship of mechanical forces to growth and development has been well studied. In contrast, other than the problem of neurulation: formation of the neural tube), developmental mechanisms in the nervous system have …

The Resilient Micro Flyer: a New Collision-tolerant Autonomous Robot
… the inertial measurement data, and d) the direct mechanical feedback-based self-centering and smooth traversal of very tight spaces based on its elastic flaps. The final system prototype is capable of 14 of endurance and weighs less than 500g. A comprehensive experimental study is presented in …

A Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis of the Juvenile Ischium
There is little debate that mechanical feedback is a key factor in the regulation and maintenance of adult bone structure, following the principles of the mechanostat hypothesis. The factors that drive early ontogenetic change in skeletal microarchitecture are less easily discerned, however, and …

Modelling star formation and stellar feedback in numerical simulations of galaxy formation
… the physics of star formation and stellar feedback into high resolution hydrodynamic simulations of galaxies. I first describe a new implementation of star formation and SN feedback that I have developed for the state-of-the-art moving mesh code Arepo. I carry out a detailed study into …

Investigating the suppressive effects of a low-frequency bias-tone on auditory-nerve responses to tail-frequency tones
… and high sensitivity of the tip is produced by mechanical feedback amplification from cochlear outer hair cells (OHCs). Specifically, sound vibrates the cochlear basilar membrane and this motion is transmitted to the OHC mechano-electric transduction function which produces a voltage change in …
