Cooperative behavior of motor proteins
… walking distance or run length, velocity and force generation are measured. The results indicate that the transport parameters are influenced by the number of motors carrying the bead. While the transport velocity slightly decreases, an increase in the run length was measured and higher forces …

Biofunctional hydrogels for skeletal muscle constructs
… covering wide length scales, frequencies, and force regimes. Hence, the interest in soft robotics and regenerative medicine methods to engineer skeletal muscle has increased in recent years. The challenges to generate a functional muscle strip are typical to those of tissue engineering, where …

Modelling, forecasting and riding credit risk in the Sterling Eurobond market
… fundamental, or whether they represent self-generated force. This question is central to the fixed income literature in general, and to the pricing of risky debt and credit derivatives in particular. The time-series properties of our credit spreads provide strong evidence of mean-reversion, …

Regulation of integrin-mediated linkages during cell migration
… ratio, or increasing intracellularly generated force. This model can explain why highly motile cells do not release integrin during rear retraction but slower cells tend to detach by integrin extraction.

Mechanics of axonal force generation in embryonic Drosophila neurons in vivo
… provided new evidence of the role of mechanical forces in the functioning of neurons in vivo. These experiments have revealed that vesicle clustering in the presynaptic terminal of the neuromuscular junction in Drosophila embryos is dependent on mechanical tension in the axons. Vesicle clustering …

Quantitative Measurements of Force Distribution in Single and Multi Cellular Systems
… be adjusted independently. In addition, local force and compliance measurements should produce new insights in cell-ECM interaction and tissue development. The first two parts of this thesis describe a novel micro-engineered mechanical device which serves as a platform for constructing ECM …
