A three-dimensional mechano-electrochemical material model of mechanosensing hydrogels

Mechanotransduction is the initiation of an electrochemical signal as a result of mechanical stimuli. It is found predominately in biological tissue and its mechanisms are well documented. In the gel like tissues of the body, such as articular cartilage and intervertebral discs, mechanotransduction...
