Descriptor English: Mechanotransduction, Cellular
Descriptor Spanish: Mecanotransducción Celular
Descriptor mecanotransducción celular
Entry term(s) transducción de señales mecánicas
transducción mecanosensor
Scope note: Proceso mediante el cual las células convierten los estímulos mecánicos en respuestas químicas. Puede producirse tanto en células especializadas para captar señales mecánicas, como los MECANORRECEPTORES, como en células parenquimatosas cuya función principal no es mecanosensorial.
