Cellular mechanotransduction : diverse perspectives from molecules to tissues /
""Mechanotransduction" is the term for the ability, first described by 19th-century anatomist Julius Wolff, of living tissues to sense mechanical stress and respond by tissue remodeling. More recently, the scope of mechanotransduction has been expanded to include the sensation of stre...
