| Abstract | This BRITE Pivot research project aims to develop new engineering tools to better understand how biological signals (like gene and protein expression) interact with mechanical signals (like tissue structure and stiffness) in the body. These tools will allow scientists to combine and visualize biological and mechanical data at the cellular and subcellular levels, offering new mechanobiology insights into how these signals work together. The research focuses on the uterus, specifically investigati |
