The effects of osmotic stress on the structure and function of the cell nucleus.

Finan, John Desmond (2010)

Chondrocytes maintain cartilage by transducing joint load into appropriate biosynthetic activity, a process commonly known as mechanotransduction. Malfunctioning mechanotransduction leads to cartilage degradation ...
