Course Goals / Objectives:
Summarize the major stages of a mechanically-induced biological process and provide examples of these stages for a given tissue
Describe the major theories of mechanotransduction and provide experimental data consistent and inconsistent with each theory
Develop a mathematical model of a mechanically regulated biological process, use published data to test the hypothesis, and design experiments to provide further data to evaluate the validity of the model
Present and discuss the results of literature searches and modeling efforts in a written and oral format
