Tensegrity in a cell For more than three decades, Don Ingber has explored and substantiated the notion that living cells are tensegrity structures – structures that stabilize themselves by balancing tension and compression. With this feature, find out what tensegrity is all about by controlling a cell's internal structural elements. |

Ingber's egg analogy Don Ingber often uses simple analogies in his lectures to explain how tissues form and how diseases develop. In this Flash presentation, he uses eggs in a carton to illustrate how cells in our tissues behave during wound healing and tumor formation. |
