Abstract

Mechanotransduction, the conversion of a biophysical force into a cellular response, allows cells and tissues to respond to their mechanical milieu. How muscle force is translated through TGF-β signaling to regulate tendon homeostasis offers an interesting in vivo example of mechanotransduction.
