Description
Cells can sense and respond to external forces and mechanotransduction events appear to be critical for most cellular functions, including cell migration and invasion. This M2 internship project will study mechanotransduction at the level of mitochondria, the intracellular organelle which is central to cell metabolism by producing energy in the form of ATP molecules.
