Preface
The initial motivation to write this booklet was to prepare an introductory reading material for my students and postdocs who are going to work on mechanotransduction using fruit flies as their model organisms. Therefore, this booklet is designed to be elementary and hopefully reader-friendly. The organization of this booklet is very simple. I begin from the general roles of mechanotransduction in physiology (Chap. 1) and the basic considerations on the principles underlying the mechanotransduction process (Chap. 2). In this way, I hope to make connectio
