[Illinois] BioNanotechnology Seminar Series Spring 2012
Series | 13 Jun 2013 | Contributor(s):: Syed-Irfan Ahmed, Rashid Bashir
It is known that more than 1.5 million Americans were diagnosed with cancer during 2009, and half a million have died (Cancer Statistics 2009, ACS). In spite of considerable effort, there has been limited success in reducing per capita deaths from cancer since 1950. This calls for a paradigm...

[Illinois] BioNanotechnology Seminar Series Spring 2012: Human Colon Carcinoma Cells on Gels: Spatial Confinement and Mechanosensing
Online Presentations | 13 Jun 2013 | Contributor(s):: Muhammad Yakut Ali
New Mounting experimental evidences suggest that cells can sense and respond to mechanical cues (i.e. substrate stiffness) and geometric cues in 2D and 3D culture models. Hence, engineered mechanical microenvironment can enable new in vitro mechano-biology studies, which are otherwise complicated...
