Cardiac Mechanobiology in Physiology and Disease Summary

Cardiac Mechanobiology in Physiology and Disease by Markus Hecker

This book presents the latest findings in the field of cardiac mechanobiology in health and disease.

Cardiac mechanobiology provides knowledge of all aspects of mechanobiology of the heart. Cardiomyogenesis is discussed as well as the mechanobiology of cardiac remodeling and regeneration. The molecular mechanisms of mechanoperception and mechanotransduction in cardiomyocytes are explained, as well as stretch induced differentiation of cardiomyocytes derived from induced pluripotent stem cells.

This volume of the seriesCardiac and Vascular Biologycomplements the volumeVascular Mechanobiology in Physiology and Disease(volume 8) published in this series. The book is aimed at clinicians as well as researchers in cardiovascular biology, bioengineering and biophysics, and also represents an educational resource for young researchers and students in these fields.
