Mechanotransduction and signaling propagation: sensor cells sensing mechanical forces and transmitting signals to effector cells to induce physiological or pathological responses. Our group focuses on (1) bone mechanotransduction and intercellular communication among bone cells; (2) endothelial mechanotransduction and its role in vascular diseases; and (3) cellular mechanics and cytoskeleton dynamics.
