Protecting cells from mechanical stress: A novel role of cell-surface receptor LRP1 in extracellular matrix- nuclei communication.
University of Liverpool
Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease Department of Musculoskeletal Biology
Cellular adaptation to mechanical strain (mechano-adaptation) is increasingly understood to be conferred by Lamin intermediate filament proteins located within the nuclear lamina. Read more
Dynamic cell fate decisions: linking mechanical signals and protein expression dynamics in the developing eye to understand human developmental disorders
Inherited developmental disorders account for much of childhood visual impairment. Development of the eye requires cell fate decisions that balance stem cell proliferation and differentiation. Read more
Regulation of cell division by mechanical force in 3D tissue environments
The cells and tissues of our bodies are constantly being pushed and pulled and it is vital that they sense and respond to these mechanical forces appropriately to maintain normal tissue function1. Read more
PhD Studentship in smart interface and contact
Applications are invited for a research studentship in the field of Tribology, leading to the award of a PhD degree. . Interfaces between moving surface, covering a vast range of practical applications in industrial and biomedical sectors, are critical in determining efficiency and durability. Read more
A chemical engine to produce mechanical force: towards a physio-chemical model of heart cells
Living systems are complex, and are based on the basic building blocks of genes, proteins, chemical reactions, and physical forces. Read more
Effect of Mechanical Strain on Water Treeing Mechanism of Dynamic Cable for Floating Offshore Wind Applications
Offshore wind energy is central to UK’s ambition of transitioning to a sustainable future electricity grid. The growth in power generation from floating wind turbines are increasingly further away from shore and utilising the floating wind turbine support structures. Read more
Development of an Optical Shape Sensing Method Using Optoelectronic Sensors for Soft Flexible Robotic Manipulators in Minimally Invasive Surgery
About the programme. Over the last two decades, many soft continuum manipulators have been developed by many academic institutions and industries for MIS (minimally invasive surgery), endoscopy, and colonoscopy because they can easily access the small or narrow opening in the body during a medical operation. Read more
Studying the Mechanical Bioeffects of Low-Intensity Ultrasound and its Therapeutic Application in Ophthalmology
Therapeutic ultrasound is a non-invasive technology to generate a range of bioeffects at a localised region of tissue by focusing ultrasonic energy, without incisions or ionising radiation. Read more
Fluid-rock interaction and its influence on rock mechanical properties
Rock and fluid interactions alternate the fluid flow and mechanical properties of porous material and thus play a significant role in many aspects of subsurface engineering application, for example CO2 geological storage and enhanced hydrocarbon recovery. Read more
Oscillations in biological systems
Living systems are complex and are based on the basic building blocks of genes, proteins, chemical reactions, and physical forces. Read more
