Abstract
Michael P. Sheetz (1946-2025) advanced the field of mechanobiology through his creative experiments, new methodologies, and keen insights. His research touched many fields of cell biology, including membrane biophysics, motor proteins, the cytoskeleton, cell migration, and cellular senescence. In addition to his research, Sheetz was a leader who built vibrant academic departments and institutes and advanced the careers of many trainees.
Michael Patrick Sheetz, 1946-2025,膜和细胞骨架生物学的爱好者和主要贡献者。
Michael P. Sheetz(1946-2025)通过他创造性的实验、新的方法和敏锐的洞察力推动了机械生物学领域的发展。他的研究涉及细胞生物学的许多领域,包括膜生物物理学、运动蛋白、细胞骨架、细胞迁移和细胞衰老。除了他的研究之外,Sheetz还是一位领导者,他建立了充满活力的学术部门和研究所,并推动了许多学员的职业发展。
