Endothelial mechanobiology [PDF]
APL Bioengineering, 2020 Lining the luminal surface of the vasculature, endothelial cells (ECs) are in direct contact with and differentially respond to hemodynamic forces depending on their anatomic location.

Keratocyte mechanobiology [PDF]
Experimental Eye Research, 2020 In vivo, corneal keratocytes reside within a complex 3D extracellular matrix (ECM) consisting of highly aligned collagen lamellae, growth factors, and other extracellular matrix components, and are subjected to various mechanical stimuli during developmental morphogenesis, fluctuations in intraocular pressure, and wound healing.

Osteocyte Mechanobiology [PDF]
Current Osteoporosis Reports, 2017 Over the past decades, osteocytes have emerged as mechano-sensors of bone and master regulators of bone homeostasis. This article summarizes latest research and progress made in understanding osteocyte mechanobiology and critically reviews tools currently available to study these cells.Whereas increased mechanical forces promote bone formation ...

Mechanobiology of Ciliogenesis [PDF]
BioScience, 2014 Cilia are force-generating and -sensing organelles that serve as mechanical interfaces between the cell and the extracellular environment. Cilia are present in tissues that adaptively respond to mechanical loading and fluid flow, and defects in ciliary function can lead to diseases affecting these tissues.

Mechanobiology of cancerogenesis
Klinicka onkologie, 2021 Within the tumour microenvironment, tumour cells are exposed to different mechanical stimuli such as compression stress, cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix traction forces, interstitial fluid pressure, and shear stress. Cells actively sense and process this information by the mechanism of mechanotransduction to make decisions about their growth ...

Modelling cartilage mechanobiology [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2003 The growth, maintenance and ossification of cartilage are fundamental to skeletal development and are regulated throughout life by the mechanical cues that are imposed by physical activities. Finite element computer analyses have been used to study the role of local tissue mechanics on endochondral ossification patterns, skeletal morphology and ...
