ABSTRACT
Tensegrity structure is comprised of compression-resis tant elements and a set of continuous tensile elements that are interconnected w ith each other. The stability of such system depends on maintenance of tensional integrity inside the structure, or what has come to be termed “tensegrity”. A ccording to studies on biology, cell structures are assembled on the basis of te nsegrity mechanism. Tensegrity of cytoskeleton can affect cell shape and functio n. Furthermore, some basic rules of mechanochemical transduction in cells can be well explained using tensegrity theory.
