This book offers a summary of research on the biomechanics of fracture fixation and mechanobiology of fracture healing. The author, a known expert, provides an overview of the state of art, his own research together with that of his co-workers and collaborators; he describes the…
"[A] detailed reference to the fundamental aspects of mechanotransduction. It covers the cell machinery responsible for the process of mechanotransduction and the manner in which cells respond to an external mechanical stimulus. The effect of mechanical stimulus on individual ce…

Mechanobiology: from molecular sensing to disease
The cell as a machine
by Sheetz, Michael P., Yu, Hanry
fromCambridge texts in biomedical engineering
"This unique introductory text explains cell functions using the engineering principles of robust devices. Adopting a process-based approach to understanding cell and tissue biology, it describes the molecular and mechanical features that enable the cell to be robust in operatin…
