Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology"
DOI: 10.1007/s10237-018-1004-0
Abstract: Cell contraction regulates how cells sense their mechanical environment. We sought to identify the set-point of cell contraction, also referred to as tensional homeostasis. In this work, bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs), cultured on substrates… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10902-017-9888-4
Abstract: Can a society’s overall level of happiness change? Until recently, it was widely held that happiness fluctuates around set-points, so that neither individuals nor societies can lastingly increase their happiness. However, data from surveys carried… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cmet.2018.01.015
Abstract: Every animal species has a signature blood glucose level or glycemic set point. These set points are different, and the normal glycemic levels (normoglycemia) of one species would be life threatening for other species. Mouse… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tmech.2020.2973382
Abstract: In this article, we propose a control-oriented Wiener model for wet-clutches in filled conditions and we discuss the associated identification technique. We design a novel hybrid controller, which ensures zero steady-state error and a fast… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1753-0407.12529
Abstract: Body weight is neither stationary nor does it change unidirectionally. Rather, body weight usually oscillates up and down around a set point. Two types of forces determine the direction of weight changes. Forces that push… read more here.
