Introduction

What is “mechanotransduction”?
The process and mechanisms by which living cells sense mechanical forces and convert them into biochemical signals.

Conclusion• Cells respond to mechanical stimuli by altering cell shape, migration, contraction
and division
• Cell signaling pathways induced by mechanical stress and soluble factors are different
• Mechanical environment (shape, substrate rigidity, forces, topography) affects stem cells differentiation lineage
• Directed differentiation of stem cells requires both chemical and mechanical cues
• Substrate rigidity may also promote embryonic stem cell self-renewal
• Stem cells have promising therapeutic advantages. We need better mechanistic understanding of developmental and homeostatic conditions (physiological, pathological)
