Preface
At the request of the American Physiological Society, we have edited this book on Molecular and Cellular Mechanobiology as part of the “Perspectives in Physiology” series. Mechanobiology is a rapidly developing scientific field at the interface of biology, medicine, and engineering that studies how physical forces, cell/tissue mechanics, and their interactions regulate homeostasis in health and pathophysiological changes in disease. Mechanobiology
