Chapter
“Gating-Spring” Model for Mechanotransduction
In Chap. 1, we provided a general introduction for mechanotransduction. We feel that before going to the biological details (molecule, structures, etc.), it may he...

Chapter
Mechanoreceptors in Drosophila melanogaster
In Chaps. 1 and 2, we introduced the physiological roles of mechanotransduction and the conceptual design of a mec...

Chapter
Overview of Mechanosensory Transduction
As the start of this booklet, we begin this chapter by providing a definition on “what is mechanosensory transduction” at the cell biological level and listing the fundamental questions in this emerging field....

Chapter
Mechanotransduction in Drosophila Mechanoreceptors
In Chap. 3, we discussed the general physiology of fly mechanoreceptors. You may ask “well, these cells are sensitive to forces, but…how?” Great question! In Chap....

Chapter
Drosophila Mechanotransduction Channels
In Chap. 4, we discussed the working mechanisms of several fly mechanoreceptors. These mechanoreceptors have developed striking structural-mechanical features that...
