4.4 MB Download
This book will cover the cutting-edge developments in molecular and
cellular mechanobiology to date. Readers will have a clear
understanding of mechanobiology at the molecular and cellular
levels, encompassing the mechanosensors, transducers, and
transcription. An integrative approach across different scales from
molecular sensing to mechanotransduction and gene modulation for
physiological regulation of cellular functions will be explored, as
well as applications to pathophysiological states in disease. A
comprehensive understanding of the roles of physicochemical
microenvironment and intracellular responses in determining
cellular function in health and disease will also be discussed.
