Mechanobiology is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles from biology, engineering, and physics to study how mechanical forces and physical properties influence biological processes at various levels, from the molecular to the tissue and organismal levels. Mechanobiologists investigate the effects of mechanical stimuli, such as tension, compression, shear stress, and elasticity, on cells and tissues. They look at how these mechanical factors affect cellular behavior, gene expression, differentiation, migration, and overall tissue development and healing.
