Tissue Mechanics Assessment: Unconfined Compression of biphasic and viscoelastic media Body tissues are often modelled as being viscoelastic or biphasic. Since cellular activity depends on the mechanical environment, it is important to understand the mechanics of each type of material. You are required to submit a short report (no more […]

It is certain, then, that numerous cases can be observed in the economic life of men in which economic goods have use value and exchange value simultaneously to the economizing individuals possessing them, and that the two forms of value are often of dif­ferent magnitudes. The question that arises is […]

What is a gene? The term “gene” was coined over a 100 years ago by Johansson and our understanding of what a gene is has obviously changed over the years with the advent of molecular biological techniques, large scale sequencing programs including ENCODE, etc. Additionally, genetics is a very wide […]

1) The integrity of the plasma membrane is essential for cellular survival. Could the immune system utilize this fact to destroy foreign cells that have invaded the body? How might cells of the immune system disrupt membranes of foreign cells? (Two hints: virtually all cells can secrete proteins, and some […]
