Abstract

Mechanobiology-the field studying how cells produce, sense, and respond to mechanical forces-is pivotal in the analysis of how cells and tissues take shape in development and disease. As we venture into the future of this field, pioneers share their insights, shaping the trajectory of future research and applications.
