Mechanotransduction is the process by which cells convert mechanical signals or forces into biochemical signals that can alter cell behavior. It plays a crucial role in various physiological processes such as cell migration, tissue development, and immune response. Mechanotransduction involves the activation of mechanosensitive signaling pathways, including the stretching of cell membrane receptors, changes in cytoskeletal tension, and the activation of ion channels. Research in this area focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying mechanotransduction and its implications in health and diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and musculoskeletal diseases.
