The bidirectional interplay between RNA processing and mechanotransduction

Abstract excerpt

Through mechanotransduction, cells sense and respond to mechanical stimuli from their environment. A mechanical stimulus is first detected by a mechanosensor, then converted into a biochemical signal, which can ultimately control the expression of genes. RNA processing, which includes canonical and alternative splicing, 3' end polyadenylation, and 5' end capping, is a mechanism that fine-tunes gene expression...
