Signalling cascades in mechanotransduction: cell-matrix interactions and mechanical loading (2009)
Journal Article
Ramage, L., Nuki, G., & Salter, D. M. (2009). Signalling cascades in mechanotransduction: cell-matrix interactions and mechanical loading. Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports, 19(4), 457-469. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1600-0838.2009.00912.x

Mechanical loading of articular cartilage stimulates the metabolism of resident chondrocytes and induces the synthesis of molecules to maintain the integrity of the cartilage. Mechanical signals modulate biochemical activity and changes in cell behav... Read More about Signalling cascades in mechanotransduction: cell-matrix interactions and mechanical loading.

Application of segmentation analysis to a matched U-slot patch antenna (2008)
Journal Article
