Abstract excerpt
The small heat shock protein HSPB1 is a ubiquitously expressed mechanoresponsive chaperone essential for cytoskeletal remodeling under mechanical load. Mutations in HSPB1, including S135F, cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) peripheral neuropathy, yet the mechanisms underlying the selective vulnerability of peripheral nerves remain enigmatic. Here we demonstrate that substrate stiffness is a critical determinant of...
