Simulated impact trauma and osteoarthritis: the role of cell volume and mechanotransduction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Health and emotional benefits are linked to participation in exercise, however single-impact load (e.g. trauma) and altered joint loading can cause bone fracture(s) resulting in permanent cartilage damage and increased risk of osteoarthritis (OA).

Mammalian somatosensory mechanotransduction [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Neurobiology, 2009
In the mammalian somatosensory system, mechanosensitive neurons mediate the senses of touch and pain. Among sensory modalities, mechanosensation has been the most elusive with regard to the identification of transduction molecules. One factor that has hindered the identification of transduction molecules is the diversity of neurons; physiological ...

Mechanotransduction in the renal tubule

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology, 2010
The role of mechanical forces in the regulation of glomerulotubular balance in the proximal tubule (PT) and Ca2+signaling in the distal nephron was first recognized a decade ago, when it was proposed that the microvilli in the PT and the primary cilium in the cortical collecting duct (CCD) acted as sensors of local tubular flow.
