Mechanotransduction pathways in articular chondrocytes and the emerging role of estrogen receptor-α
Abstract In the synovial joint, mechanical force creates an important signal that influences chondrocyte behavior. The conversion of mechanical signals into biochemical cues relies on different elements in mechanotransduction pathways and culminates in changes in chondrocyte phenotype and extracellu...
