Biophysical aspects of mechanotransduction in cells and their physiological/biological implications in vocal fold vibration: a narrative review

Mechanotransduction is a crucial property in all organisms, modulating cellular behaviors in response to external mechanical stimuli.Given the high mobility of vocal folds, it is hypothesized that mechanotransduction significantly contributes to their tissue homeostasis.Recent studies have identified mechanosensitive proteins in vocal fold epitheli
