Mechanical Control of Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transitions in Development and Cancer
14 Jun 2016
Abstract excerpt
Mechanical force modulates development, influences tissue homeostasis, and contributes to disease. Forces sculpt tissue-level behaviors and direct cell fate by engaging mechanoreceptors and by altering organization of the cytoskeleton and actomyosin contractility to stimulate mechanotransduction mechanisms that alter transcription. Nevertheless, how force specifically leverages mechanotransduction pathways to...
