Cytoskeletal prestress: The cellular hallmark in mechanobiology and mechanomedicine
23 Mar 2021
Abstract excerpt
Increasing evidence demonstrates that mechanical forces, in addition to soluble molecules, impact cell and tissue functions in physiology and diseases. How living cells integrate mechanical signals to perform appropriate biological functions is an area of intense investigation. Here, we review the evidence of the central role of cytoskeletal prestress in mechanotransduction and mechanobiology. Elevating...
