Rac activation by stress does not depend on Src
Submitted by Ning Wang on Tue, 2009-11-24 22:09.It is known that platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) induced Rac activation depends on Src activity. However, we find that a local stress of physiologic magnitude via integrins can directly activate Rac GTPase rapidly, independent of the Src activity. Our finding on the stress-induced rapid Rac activation challenges the conventional wisdom on mechanotransduction and suggests that stress-induced signaling via focal adhesions does not follow signal transduction pathways induced by growth factors. To view the whole paper:

Wondering about the Mechanics of Bacterial Death
Submitted by Ajit R. Jadhav on Sat, 2009-08-15 09:48.0. I was idly thinking about the current H1N1 flue pandemic, and the following things occurred to me. Please note, I know very little about this subject matter. So, please consider descriptions in the following as, at best, tentative.
1. There is a basic difference between how alcohol kills viruses and how salt-water kills bacteria. [Alcohol is used in the hand-cleaners they use in hospitals. Girgling with salt-water is the first line of defense (and an unexpectedly highly effective one) which is well known for millenia.]
But the mechanisms involved are different.

Journal Club Theme of January 2009: Impetus for Cell Mechanics
Submitted by Rohit Khanna on Tue, 2008-12-30 00:19.Welcome to the January 2009 issue. This issue addresses the important discussion on cell mechanics. Acute need to study cell mechanics is driven by the fundamental goal of tissue engineering i.e. to make tissue engineered constructs that can mimic the environment for tissue regeneration with a potential to replace the biological functions of damaged organs. There is now worldwide activity in the in vitro regeneration of tissues including nerve, liver, bone, heart valves, blood vessels, and kidney.

Poroelastic nanoindentation analysis
Submitted by MichelleLOyen on Tue, 2008-05-06 14:46.Just published in this month's Journal of Materials Research--a study on poroelastic nanoindentation characterization for hydrated bone samples. Poroelastic problems are notoriously difficult to incorporate into routine materials characterization due to the paucity of problems with closed-form solutions. However, in some cases, a master-curve does exist and parameter identification can be accomplished without requiring inverse finite element analysis and optimization for every condition. The abstract follows, linked from here .

The aim of the Summer School is to present a state of-the-art introduction to biomechanical modeling and computation at different length scales. The emphasis s on the nonlinear behavior embracing models of molecular dynamics, single filaments, etwork structures, the cytoskeleton and the nucleus. Multiscale models and ontinuum models for soft tissues including arteries, aortic valves, cartilage and the cornea will also be presented.
