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.
