Morphogenesis, tumor formation, and wound healing are regulated by tissue rigidity. Focal adhesion behavior is locally regulated by stiffness; however, how cells globally adapt, detect, and respond to ...

Not all ball-screw makers spec products the same way. Stiffness or rigidity is a key factor in evaluating ball-screw drives for specific needs. Rigidity, in this context, describes a ball screw's ...
