Mechanical stimulation shown to repair muscle “This work clearly demonstrates that mechanical forces are as important biological regulators as chemicals and genes, and it shows the immense potential of developing mechanotherapies to treat injury and disease,” said Wyss Institute Director Donald Ingber, who is a pioneer in the field of mechanobiology. “The challenge now is to advance this new mechanotherapeutic approach from the bench to bedside, where the real impact on human lives can occur.”
