ABOUT THIS TOPIC:
The ability of a cell to sense, measure and respond to the physical cues and stimuli of its environment drives many physiological and pathological processes, including cell movement, apoptosis and invasion. This chapter explores the fundamental concepts behind mechanosensing and mechanotransduction and discusses the cellular processes within a wider context, where their disruption can give rise to disease states such as cancer.
