Mechanobiology of organelles: illuminating their roles in mechanosensing and mechanotransduction.

Trends in Cell Biology, 2023
Mechanobiology studies the mechanisms by which cells sense and respond to physical forces, and the role of these forces in shaping cells and tissues themselves. Mechanosensing can occur at the plasma membrane, which is directly exposed to external forces,

Platelet Mechanotransduction

Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering, 2018
The vasculature is a dynamic environment in which blood platelets constantly survey the endothelium for sites of vessel damage. The formation of a mechanically coherent hemostatic plug to prevent blood loss relies on a coordinated series of ligand–receptor interactions governing the recruitment, activation, and aggregation of platelets.

Mechanotherapy in Oncology: Targeting Nuclear Mechanics and Mechanotransduction.

Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 2023
Mechanotherapy is proposed as a new option for cancer treatment. Increasing evidence suggests that characteristic differences are present in the nuclear mechanics and mechanotransduction of cancer cells compared with those of normal cells.

Disrupting mechanotransduction decreases fibrosis and contracture in split-thickness skin grafting

Science Translational Medicine, 2022
Burns and other traumatic injuries represent a substantial biomedical burden. The current standard of care for deep injuries is autologous split-thickness skin grafting (STSG), which frequently results in contractures, abnormal pigmentation, and loss of ...

Mechanotransduction

Comprehensive Physiology, 2011
AbstractPhysical forces are central players in development and morphogenesis, provide an ever‐present backdrop influencing physiological functions, and contribute to a variety of pathologies. Mechanotransduction encompasses the rich variety of ways in which cells and tissues convert cues from their physical environment into biochemical signals.

Mechanotransduction in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

Journal of Hepatology, 2022
Mechanobiology is a domain of interdisciplinary research that aims to explore the impact of physical force, applied externally or internally, on cell and tissue function, including development, growth, and differentiation.

Neurosensory mechanotransduction

Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, 2009
Neurons that sense touch, sound and acceleration respond rapidly to specific mechanical signals. The proteins that transduce these signals and underlie these senses, however, are mostly unknown. Research over the past decade has suggested that members of three families of channel proteins are candidate transduction molecules.
