Mechanotransduction is the phenomenon of conversion of mechanical forces to biochemical signals in fibrosis. Knowledge on how mechanotransduction influences the behavior of cells and tissues will help to identify novel therapeutic targets for mechanomodulatory approaches. Innovative therapies based on these advances will potentially transform fibrotic healing into tissue regeneration.
