Cell mechanotransduction and interactions with biological tissues.
The biomechanical mechanisms involved in the processes of tissue remodeling and adaptation are reviewed with emphasis on mechanotransduction at the cellular level. New theoretical models associated with experimental rheological techniques are briefly commented.
