Finite-Element Modeling of Viscoelastic Cells During High-Frequency Cyclic Strain

Mechanotransduction refers to the mechanisms by which cells sense and respond to local loads and forces. The process of mechanotransduction plays an important role both in maintaining tissue viability and in remodeling to repair damage; moreover, it may be involved in the initiation and progression...
