BIG QUESTION ? How is life evolved to adapt to physical forces?
Idea = guess= hypothesisBased on
work done by others and new unexpected observations
Scientific method Tests to see if guesses are correct
or not

Hypothesis = ?
Strong attachment of cells to surroundings affects their function
Test
Alter surroundings with bioengineering and observe cells

Stem cell differentiation and maturation
Chemical: growth factors, genes, drugs, cell signaling
Physical: forces, topography, scaffolds

Net force is zero
Cells can do physics
Newton’s Third Law of PhysicsEvery force has an equal and opposite reactive force.

How many cell divisions before cells specialize?
One division = 2 cells
Two divisions = 4 cells
Three divisions = 8 cells
![Page 11: Research on stem cells: Ideas, questions, data gathering Brenda Russell PhD Physiology, Bioengineering, Medicine UIC 22 Feb, 2008 Russell@uic.edu ©](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032702/56649f455503460f94c66ad6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Four divisions = 16 cells
One cell is now in the middleRest have inner and outer surfaces

Hypothesis
Stem cells respond to the physical cues
Experiment to test
Alter niche by microtopography and measure cell response

Conclusion• Microtopgraphy blunts proliferation of stem
cells
• Beating rates of derived heart cells vary greatly when plated on microprojections
