Impact of cellular microenvironment and mechanical perturbation on calcium signalling in meniscus fibrochondrocytes

Mechanical signals regulate a multitude of cell functions and ultimately govern fibrous tissue growth, maintenance and repair. Such mechanotransduction processes often involve modulation of intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i). However, most studies interrogate these responses in cells in s...
