There appears to be an interaction between the loading states in tissues and cells and these chronic conditions, as well as with factors such as age, gender and genetics of the individual. Bioengineering has made key contributions to this research field in providing technologies for cell biomechanics experimentation, microscopy and image processing, tissue engineering and multi-scale, multi-physics computational modeling. Topics at the frontier of this field of study include: the continuous monitoring of cell growth, proliferation and differentiation in response to mechanical factors such as stiffness of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and mechanical loads transferred through the ECM; mechanically-activated signaling pathways and molecular mechanisms; effects of different loading regimes and mechanical environments on differentiation fates of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into myogenic and osteogenic versus adipogenic lineages; the interactions between nutrition and mechanotransduction; cell morphology, focal adhesion patterns and cytoskeletal remodeling changes in adipogenesis; activation of receptors related to diabetes by mechanical forces; brown and white adipose plasticity and its regulation by mechanical factors.Studies in Mechanobiology, Tissue Engineering and Biomaterials,1868-2006 ;16Biomedical engineeringCell physiologyBiophysicsBiological physicsBiomaterialsBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T2700XCell Physiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L33010Biological and Medical Physics, Biophysicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P27008Biomaterialshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z13000Biomedical engineering.Cell physiology.Biophysics.Biological physics.Biomaterials.Biomedical Engineering and Bioengineering.Cell Physiology.Biological and Medical Physics, Biophysics.Biomaterials.571.4571.6610.28620Gefen Amitedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBenayahu Dafnaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910299669303321Mechanobiology of Obesity and Related Diseases1413046UNINA
