pt. 1. Mechanosensitive channels -- pt. 2. Mechanosensitive signalling cascades -- pt. 3. Cell mechanobiology
Summary
This book presents the latest findings in mechanosensitive ion channel research compiled by a number of internationally recognized experts in the field of mechanosensitivity, specializing in mechanosensitive or mechanically gated ion channels and the underlying mechanosensitive signaling cascades. ""Mechanosensitivity in Cells and Tissues: Mechanosensitive Ion Channels"" defines and discusses key problems of cellular mechanobiology, describing the methods for studying mechanosensitive ion channels, the role of lipid bilayer mechanics in mechanosensation, and the molecular organization, physiol
