Understanding the physical variables driving mechanosensing — •Pere Roca-Cusachs — Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), the Barcelona Institute of Technology (BIST), 08028 Barcelona, Spain

Cell response to force regulates essential processes in health and disease. However, the fundamental mechanical variables that cells sense and respond to remain largely unknown. During this talk, I will discuss how this process of mechanosensing can be understood in physical terms, and used to predict cell response to both external force application, and passive mechanical properties such as Extracellular Matrix (ECM) rigidity.
