Active curling of epithelial monolayers dominated by actin cytoskeleton mechanics - PubMed

1 1

Active curling of epithelial tissues, as an indispensable component of developmental morphogenesis, occurs frequently both in vivo and in vitro microenvironments. Deciphering the mechanisms underlying the active curling of epithelial monolayers is crucial for understanding many physiological and pat …

Emergence of biphasic versus monotonic response of actin retrograde flow and cell traction force with varying substrate rigidity - PubMed

1 1

The transmission of cytoskeletal forces to the extracellular matrix through focal adhesion complexes is essential for a multitude of biological processes, such as cell migration, cell differentiation, tissue development, and cancer progression, among others. During migration, focal adhesions arrest …
