  • This is the first series of books that considers the problem of cell mechanosensitivity of organs and tissues at the molecular, biological, bio-physical, physiological and pharmacological levels and draws the attention to the global problem of the mechanosensitivity and its mechanisms
  • In addition, the problem of intracellular crosstalk (i.e. a network of mechanically induced intracellular signaling cascades) is discussed for the first time

Part of the book series: Mechanosensitivity in Cells and Tissues (MECT, volume 3)
