Oncogenetic engagement with mechanosensing
Nature Materials, 2020Reprogramming normal cells into tumour precursors involves complex reconditioning of the tissue microenvironment. Cumulative integration of genetic drivers with extrinsic mechanical inputs is now shown to engage YAP/TAZ to rewire cell mechanics and initiate tumorigenic reprogramming.

Mechanosensing in liver regeneration
Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2017Liver is highly regenerative as it can restore its function and size even after 70% partial hepatectomy. During liver regeneration, the mechanical and chemical environment of liver is altered with accumulation of various growth factors and remodeling of extracellular environment. Cells can sense the changes in their cellular environment through various

Comprehensive Physiology
AbstractElectrical mechanosensing is a process mediated by specialized ion channels, gated directly or indirectly by mechanical forces, which allows cells to detect and subsequently respond to mechanical stimuli. The activation of mechanosensitive (MS) ion channels, intrinsically gated by mechanical forces, or mechanoresponsive (MR) ion channels ...

TRP channels in mechanosensation
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2005Channels of the TRP superfamily have sensory roles in a wide variety of receptor cells, especially in mechanosensation. In some cases, the channels appear to be directly activated by mechanical force; in others, they appear to be downstream of a messenger pathway initiated by force on a non-channel sensor.

Mechanosensing at Cellular Interfaces
Langmuir, 2018At the plasma membrane interface, cells use various adhesions to sense their extracellular environment. These adhesions facilitate the transmission of mechanical signals that dictate cell behavior. This review discusses the mechanisms by which these mechanical signals are transduced through cell-matrix and cell-cell adhesions and how this ...

THE MOLECULES OF MECHANOSENSATION
Annual Review of Neuroscience, 1997▪ Abstract Mechanosensation, the transduction of mechanical forces into a cellular electrochemical signal, enables living organisms to detect touch; vibrations, such as sound; accelerations, including gravity; body movements; and changes in cellular volume and shape.

2017
The medicinal leech (Hirudo verbana) is an annelid (segmented worm) and one of the classic model systems in neuroscience. It has been used in research for over 50 years and was one of the first animals in which intracellular recordings of mechanosensory neurons were carried out.

Toward Understanding Protocell Mechanosensation
Origins of Life and Evolution of Biospheres, 2010Mechanosensitive (MS) channels can prevent bacterial bursting during hypo-osmotic shocks by responding to increases in lateral tension at the membrane level through an integrated and coordinated opening mechanism. Mechanical regulation in protocells could have been one of the first mechanisms to evolve in order to preserve their integrity against ...

We focus on studying ways to encode mechanical information with soft sensing systems to provide future robots with exteroception and proprioception capabilities, as naturally as possible. Recently, we have shown developments on soft artificial mechanosensing by exploiting smart layouts in combination with soft materials, like elastomers and conductive ...
