I studied the process called signal transduction - transmission of the activating mechanical signal from outside the cell, across the cellular membrane, to FAK inside the cell, leading to the activation of the kinase. (vimeo.com)
Development of diet - induced fatty liver disease in the aging mouse is suppressed by brief daily exposure to low - magnitude mechanical signals (academic.oup.com)
This physical link between the cytoskeletons of neighboring cells allows for the generation and transduction of mechanical signals. (sciencedaily.com)
