2020-10-27
Abstract excerpt
Durotaxis – the ability of cells to sense and migrate along stiffness gradients – is important for embryonic development and has been implicated in pathologies including fibrosis and cancer. Although cellular processes can sometimes turn toward softer environments, durotaxis at the level of cells has thus far been observed exclusively as migration from soft to stiff regions. The molecular basis of durotaxis, espec...
