5.5 Mechanics at cellular scale: a submodeling
approach
A challenging and unsolved task is represented by the identi cation and
explanation of the correlation among the external mechanical stimuli
applied to organs and both microscale tissue homeostasis and remodeling
mechanisms (Lavagnino and Arnoczky, 2005; Ingber, 2008). It is well known
that mechanical stimuli induce a cellular biological response characterized
by the activation of both catabolic and anabolic processes by means of a cas-
cade of gene expressions. In turn, these processes depend on local mechan-
otransduction ...
