Dystrophin modulates focal adhesion tension and YAP-mediated mechanotransduction
2021-08-06
Abstract excerpt
Dystrophin is an essential muscle protein that contributes to cell membrane stability by linking the actin cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix. The absence or impaired function of dystrophin causes muscular dystrophy. Focal adhesions are mechanosensitive adhesion complexes that also connect the cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix. However, the interplay between dystrophin and focal adhesion force transmi...
