Mechanobiology: From Molecular Sensing to Disease 1st Edition

by Glen L. Niebur (Author)

Mechanobiology: From Molecular Sensing to Disease will provide a review of the current state of understanding of mechanobiology and its role in health and disease. It covers: Current understanding of the main molecular pathways by which cells sense and respond to mechanical stimuli, A review of diseases that with known or purported mechanobiological underpinnings; The role of mechanobiology in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine; Experimental methods to capture mechanobiological phenomena; Computational models in mechanobiology.

• Presents our current understanding of the main molecular pathways by which cells sense and respond to mechanical stimuli
• Provides a review of diseases with known or purported mechanobiological underpinnings
• Includes the role of mechanobiology in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine
• Covers experimental methods to capture mechanobiological phenomena
