By fiddling with the cytoskeletons of real - life hydras, researchers found that the pond polyps rely on
mechanical forces as well as
molecular cues to regenerate head and tentacles in the right places (SN: 3/4/17, p. 19).
At the
molecular level, he is discovering how
mechanical forces signal gene expression to cause cell growth, migration and cell death.
In proposals to develop APM, this problem will be solved by guided
molecular trajectories and positionally - controlled mechanosynthesis: reactive
molecular fragments will be guided by
molecular machine systems to a specific position and geometric orientation with respect to the growing atomically precise work piece so that the application of
mechanical force will cause the desired bond to form.
With various colleagues, he created the first
mechanical models of how cells and tissues form and change during development, how cells move and how nano - scale
molecular motors inside cells exert
forces on a pico - Newton scale.
