摘要

Mechanical Engineering Mechanics of Materials Materials Science (all)
A study has presented the alterations in the cell structure of the actin cytoskeleton producing distinct phases based on changes in thermal environment. The phases occurred are distinguished by observable remodeling of internal components into different organizational patterns following mechanical excitation and chemical stimulation. The study has quantitatively measured the existence of the phases from an imaging perspective to more accurately define them, and to achieve this, it pursued the analysis of intensities of individual actin filaments from a special distribution perspective. The phases also exhibit reversible characteristics with alterations from several degrees of temperature as the study reversed the initial responses through a controlled recovery period of lower temperatures maintained until an advanced state was reached. The results provides insights applicable to a wide range of fields including cell biology, biomaterial responses, and phase response researches.
