Mechanobiology: From Molecular Sensing to Disease is a comprehensive book that delves into the fascinating field of mechanobiology, exploring how mechanical forces influence biological processes at the molecular level and contribute to the development of various diseases. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the role of mechanotransduction in cell signaling, the impact of mechanical forces on gene expression, and the relationship between mechanical cues and tissue development.
The authors provide a detailed overview of the latest research in mechanobiology, discussing how advances in technology have allowed scientists to better understand the complex interplay between mechanical forces and biological systems. They also explore the implications of mechanobiology for human health, discussing how dysregulation of mechanotransduction pathways can lead to the development of diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, and musculoskeletal disorders.
Mechanobiology: From Molecular Sensing to Disease is a valuable resource for researchers, students, and healthcare professionals interested in learning more about the role of mechanical forces in biology and disease. The book provides a thorough examination of this emerging field, offering insights that could potentially lead to new therapeutic strategies for treating a variety of medical conditions.
This edition retains the full content with the added advantage of portability, allowing readers to easily access and engage with the material from any device, whether in a classroom or during fieldwork.
