Summary:

Sensing the Tension: Identifying Mechanotransducers That Regulate Muscle Growth reviews the fact that nearly all cells in the body are exposed to a wide variety of external mechanical forcers, including tension (which causes deformation of the cell), compression (a pushing force that takes place perpendicular to the cell), and shear stress (which occurs parallel to the surface membrane of the cell). Featuring five highly respected professionals, the video discusses several of the key factors involved in the process of cellular mechanotransduction, in which these forces are individually and collectively are converted into a chemical signal that then allows for changes in transcription differentiation, proliferation, migration, and growth of the cell.
