| Students develop the ability to understand and analyze the mechanical properties of biological membranes and the principles governing mechanosensitive ion channels. They learn to interpret experimental findings related to cellular mechanics, including cytoskeletal dynamics, motor protein function, and cell movement. Additionally, they gain insight into the theoretical models describing force generation, mechanotransduction, and cellular responses to mechanical stimuli.
