Original Abstract

Mechanical stimuli represent a very important factor influencing cellular processes and functions. The knowledge about mechanical properties of cells is necessary for understanding how cells response to mechanical load. The aim of our research is to develop a credible computational model of mechanical behaviour of a single cell; the results will contribute to solving of the mechanotransduction problems and to identifying of mechanical properties of the cell components. The overview of the results achieved in this field is presented in this paper.
