Constructing mechanosensitive signalling pathways de novo in synthetic cells

Abstract excerpt

Biological mechanotransduction enables cells to sense and respond to mechanical forces in their local environment through changes in cell structure and gene expression, resulting in downstream changes in cell function. However, the complexity of living systems obfuscates the mechanisms of mechanotransduction, and hence the study of these processes in vitro has been critical in characterising the function of...
