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
