$1.9 million NIH project to investigate effects of shear stress on cancer cells
A biomedical engineering professor has received a $1.9 million NIH grant to investigate the effects of mechanical stimuli such as shear stress on the behavior of cancer cells in blood flow. J. Lawrence Wilson Professor Mike King and his research group will develop the devices for the study as well as new cell lines to... Read MoreSep 9, 2021

Antibody “road block” enables fine-tuning for cardiac recovery, decreases risk of heart failure
A new study published by Vanderbilt mechanobiology researchers details a possible solution for fine-tuning inflammation and cellular activity in cardiac recovery – thanks to an antibody initially developed for rheumatoid arthritis. Read MoreSep 19, 2019
