Cellular mechanotransduction: diverse perspectives from molecules to tissues

Living tissues sense mechanical stress and respond by tissue remodeling and by sending biochemical signals that produce a sequence of biological responses.This book focuses on the process of stress sensing and transducing mechanicalforce into biochemical signals. It helps define mechanomics, which describes the mechanical state of a biological system.
