Event

D5 - MECHANOBIOLOGY IN THE AIRWAY ENVIRONMENT: FEEL THE FORCE

Location: PACIFIC BALLROOM 18-19
Session Type: Scientific Symposium
Wednesday
May
23
9:15 AM
11:15 AM

Description

Virtually all airway diseases involve alteration in cell mechanics. The extent to which these cell-level changes are influenced by intrinsic (stiffness, contraction, and gene expression) or extrinsic (exposures to environmental stimuli) factors, or combinations of both, remains unclear. This session will highlight our current knowledge, providing biomechanical insights into the complex mechanisms that make airway cells susceptible, or not, to mechanical dysfunction.
