Title: Mechanobiology of Cell Reprogramming
Abstract:
Recent studies have demonstrated that biophysical factors have a long-term effect on cell phenotypic changes. I will discuss how biophysical cues such as microtopography, substrate stiffness and fluid shear stress can modulate the cell reprogramming process, through either epigenetic modifications or transcriptional regulation.
