What is Cell Mechanics? “The subject of cell mechanics encompasses a wide range of essential cellular processes, ranging from macroscopic events like the maintenance of cell shape, cell motility, adhesion, and deformation to microscopic events such as how cells sense mechanical signals and transduce them into a cascade of biochemical signals ultimately leading to a host of biological responses.” -- Mofrad & Kamm

Biomechanics of RBC infected by the malaria-inducing parasite P. falciparum. Normal RBCs (H-RBC, n = 7) and RBC infected by P. falciparum at the ring stage (Pf-R-pRBC, n = 5) and the schizont stage (Pf-S-pRBC, n = 23).
The solid lines are from three-dimensional finite-element simulations of an optical tweezers stretching experiment of RBC with an effective shear modulus of the cell membrane = 5.3 N m-1 (H-RBC), 16 N m-1 (Pf-R-pRBC) and 53.3 N m-1 (Pf-S-pRBC).

We study cell mechanics... • to understand interaction between cells and their environment • to improve the control/function of cells • to improve cell growth/cell production • to manipulate cells for medical applications • to treatment of certain diseases • to understand how cells move and change cell motion • to build/engineer tissues with desired mechanical properties • to understand how cell growth is affected by stress and mechanical properties of the
substrate the cells are in • to understand how cells are affected by their environment • to understand how mechanical factors alter cell behavior and gene expression • to understand how different cells interact with each other • to understand how mechanical loading affects cells, e.g. stem cell differentiation or
cell morphology • to understand how mechanically gated ion channels work • to understand how the loading of cells could aid developing structures to grow cells
or organize existing cells more efficiently • to understand macrostructural behavior • to build machines/sensors similar to cells • to be able to study the impact of different parts of a cell on its overall behavior • to provide scientific guidance for targeted cell manipulation
