Synopsis

This volume draws together these apparently disparate observations and makes comparisons among the nature of the cellular responses. Studies of cells derived from skeletal muscle, bone and cardiovascular tissue provide a comprehensive synthesis and review of recent work.

Book Description

This volume draws together apparently disparate studies of the interaction of mechanical forces with a range of cell types derived from skeletal muscle, bone and cardiovascular tissue to provide a comprehensive synthesis and review of recent work in this exciting new field.

Review

"The strengths of this book include the diversity of cell types and physiological responses covered, the significant detail on the putative biological mechanisms by which mechanical stimuli may be transduced by cells, and most of all the variety and detail of the experimental models, preparations, and devices that are described...an interesting collection of articles on mechanical signal transduction by cells in a variety of experimental settings." A.D. McCulloch, Applied Mechanics Review
