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. Satisfies one of the core Biomedical Engineering requirements for the interdepartmental minor in Biomedical Engineering. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Mechanical-Engineering/2-797JFall-2006/CourseHome/index.htm Lang, Matthew Kamm, Roger 2007-09-21T12:33:49-04:00 2.797J 6.024J 3.053J 20.310J en-US Biological Engineering Anatomy muscle constriction tissue-level deformation cellular metabolism physical regulation electromechanical and physiochemical properties of tissues molecular electromechanics cell mechanics tissue mechanics molecular mechanics Mechanical Engineering Materials Science and Engineering Electrical Engineering and Computer Science MIT Open Course Ware http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htm This course introduces the basic driving forces for electric current, fluid flow, and mass transport, plus their application to a variety of biological systems. Basic mathematical and engineering tools will be introduced, in the context of biology and physiology. Various electrokinetic phenomena are also considered as an example of coupled nature of chemical-electro-mechanical driving forces. Applications include transport in biological tissues and across membranes, manipulation of cells and biomolecules, and microfluidics. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Biological-Engineering/20-330JSpring-2007/CourseHome/index.htm Han, Jongyoon ("Jay") Manalis, Scott 2007-10-25T12:52:44-04:00 20.330J 6.023J 2.793J en-US Biological Engineering Cell Physiology bioMEMS Van der Waals electro-quasistatics Maxwell's equations molecular biology biology organ tissue viscous flow inviscid flow Zeta potential Debye layer electrokinetics ion transport microfluidics biomolecule cell membrane reaction electrophoresis diffusion electroosmosis hydrodynamic flow Mechanical Engineering Electrical Engineering and Computer Science MIT Open Course Ware http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.
