Mechanical homeostasis is defined as the process that maintains the mechanical equilibrium of a biological system using negative feedback mechanisms.

The process can maintain normal physiological conditions against intracellular and extracellular forces and deformation.

Alterations of the mechanical properties of blood cells and vascular tissues can be linked to the pathogenesis of numerous cardiovascular and haematologic diseases such as atherosclerosis and/or stroke.
