Mechanobiology examines effects of mechanical force stimuli on cellular biological functions. At appropriate levels, mechanical stimuli are necessary for growth and maintenance of healthy tissues and organs. The past two decades have seen a dramatic increase in the level of research in mechanobiology. Collecting the cutting-edge research findings from a diverse range of scientists, this volume presents basic materials in mechanics and cell biology. The book is an appropriate reference for those new to the field and is designed to stimulate new ways of thinking in current mechanobiology researchers.…mehr
