    T cells are specialized lymphocytes that mature in the thymus to express uniquely rearranged T cell receptors for antigen. Classical CD4+ and CD8+ T cells are associated with adaptive immunity and often divided into subsets based on their helper, cytotoxic or regulatory functions.

    This collection of primary research articles, reviews and protocols focuses on an emerging topic of mechanobiology, highlighting the broad involvement of mechanical forces in different biological contexts, their roles in development, physiology and disease, and how these forces are sensed and transduced to produce biologically-relevant responses. The collection also showcases new technical approaches to modulate mechanobiology, which in the future could be used to control cell fate and behaviour for therapeutic benefits.
