CAREER: Peristalsis Mechanobiology in the Uterine Endometrium — NSF Award to Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TX, $649,96
This Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award supports research into how the movement of the uterus, called peristalsis, affects the cells in its inner lining. Many cells in the inner lining grow and shed in sync with this movement. The mechanics of the uterus may be key to this process because all cells in the

| Abstract | This Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award supports research into how the movement of the uterus, called peristalsis, affects the cells in its inner lining. Many cells in the inner lining grow and shed in sync with this movement. The mechanics of the uterus may be key to this process because all cells in the body sense and respond to mechanical forces. Abnormal uterine movements may change growth rates and the immune environment, leading to problems in the uterus. Using a special devic |
