Mechanical forces in our body and their transduction process into biological output. (A) Mechanical stimuli found at the cell, tissue, and organ level inside the body. (B) Mechanotransduction is the process by which cells convert mechanical inputs into biological responses. Mechanotransduction often involves a feedback process, and their mechanical environment is dynamic and complex [36].
