  1. ncbi Airway smooth muscle tone modulates mechanically induced cytoskeletal stiffening and remodeling
    Linhong Deng
    Physiology Program, Dept of Environmental Health, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, MA 02115, USA
    J Appl Physiol 99:634-41. 2005
    ..As regards pathobiology of asthma, this suggests a maladaptive positive feedback in which tone potentiates ASM remodeling and stiffening that further increases stress and possibly leads to worsening airway function...
  2. ncbi Fast and slow dynamics of the cytoskeleton
    Linhong Deng
    Program in Molecular and Integrative Physiological Sciences, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts 20115, USA
    Nat Mater 5:636-40. 2006
    ..The transition between these two regimes occurred on timescales of the order of 0.01 s, thus setting within the slow glassy regime cellular events such as spreading, crawling, contracting, and invading...
  3. ncbi Universal physical responses to stretch in the living cell
    Xavier Trepat
    Program in Molecular and Integrative Physiological Sciences, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA
    Nature 447:592-5. 2007
    ..These laws seem to be both universal and primitive, and thus comprise a striking intersection between the worlds of cell biology and soft matter physics...
  4. ncbi Mechanical strain increases cell stiffness through cytoskeletal filament reorganization
    Paul G Smith
    Department of Pediatrics, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio 44106, USA
    Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol 285:L456-63. 2003
    ..They imply, furthermore, that oscillatory loading of ASM may contribute to airway narrowing and failure of airway dilation in asthma...

    Linhong Deng
    School of Biomedical Engineering, Dalhousie University, 5981 University Avenue, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada B3H 3J5
    Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 287:C440-8. 2004
    ..Together, these findings imply that MS is a potent stimulus to enhance stiffness and contractility of ASM cells through CSK remodeling, which may have important implications in airway narrowing and dilation in asthma...
