Abstract:
Mechanical stresses modulate almost all aspects of cell function, including growth, differentiation, migration, gene expression, protein synthesis and apoptosis. Thus, uncovering the mechanisms by which living cells sense and transduce mechanical stress lies at the core of understanding how they respond and adapt to their physical environments. In this review, the possible mechanism about cell response to mechanical stimulus was discussed from outer cell membrane to inner nucleus.
