Articles on Tensegrity
by Donald Ingber
The following articles are by Harvard cell biologist Ingber concerning the
prevalence of tensegrity as a principle
of biological structure from the micro-level of molecules and cells to the macro-level of
tissues and whole organisms. Amongst other things, he delves into how the larger scale
forces of physical use and misuse can directly affect cell function and gene expression.
You can find more at the
Ingber Lab website.
