Research summary
AI-generated

Daniel E. Conway studies how cells sense and respond to mechanical forces, focusing on the cell nucleus, cell-cell adhesion structures, and the cytoskeleton. His work uses molecular sensors and imaging tools to measure physical tension within cells and examines how this affects processes like tissue shape, immune signaling, viral infection, and disease states such as pemphigus vulgaris. This research sits at the interface of cell biology and biophysics, aiming to explain how mechanical forces influence cell and tissue behavior.
