Abstract

The article discusses how physical forces affect the human body on a microscopic level. Topics include mechanobiology, which studies the way cells interpret the physical forces acting upon them, the impact of physical pressures on the self-assembly of stem cells, research by the author and his colleagues showing that YAP and TAZ proteins constitute a molecular switch that turn a cell's responses to physical forces on and off, and the influence of YAP/TAZ levels in tissue regeneration.
