Mechanobiology

Mechanobiology: From Molecular Sensing to Disease will provide a review of the current state of understanding of mechanobiology and its role in health and disease. It covers:�Current understanding of the main molecular pathways by which cells sense and respond to mechanical stimuli,�A review of diseases that with known or purported mechanobiological underpinnings;�The role of mechanobiology in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine; Experimental methods to capture mechanobiological phenomena;�Computational models in mechanobiology.

• Presents our current understanding of the main molecular pathways by which cells sense and respond to mechanical stimuli
• Provides a review of diseases with known or purported mechanobiological underpinnings
• Includes the role of mechanobiology in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine
• Covers experimental methods to capture mechanobiological phenomena
