Identification of CD44 as a key mediator of cell traction force generation in hyaluronic acid-rich extracellular matrices
2023-10-27
Abstract excerpt
Mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM) critically regulate a number of important cell functions including growth, differentiation and migration. Type I collagen and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are two primary components of ECMs that contribute to mammalian tissue mechanics, with the collagen fiber network sustaining tension, and GAGs withstanding compression. The architecture and stiffness of the co...
