Mechanotransdukcja
Mechanotransduction is the process by which cells convert mechanical stimuli into electrochemical activity. This phenomenon is fundamental to the functioning of many biological systems, allowing organisms to sense and respond to their physical environment.
In essence, mechanotransduction involves a series of events that begin with the physical deformation of a cell's
Ion channels, particularly mechanosensitive ion channels, play a crucial role in this process. When these channels
This electrochemical signal can then initiate a cascade of downstream cellular responses. These responses can include
Mechanotransduction is vital for a wide range of physiological functions. It is involved in the sense of
