6.024[J] Molecular, Cellular, and Tissue Biomechanics
(
)
(Same subject as 2.797[J], 3.053[J], 20.310[J])
Prereq: Biology (GIR), (2.370 or 20.110), and (3.016B or 18.03)
Units: 4-0-8
Develops and applies scaling laws and the methods of continuum mechanics to biomechanical phenomena over a range of length scales. Topics include structure of tissues and the molecular basis for macroscopic properties; chemical and electrical effects on mechanical behavior; cell mechanics, motility and adhesion; biomembranes; biomolecular mechanics and molecular motors. Experimental methods for probing structures at the tissue, cellular, and molecular levels.
