FHODs: Nuclear tethered formins for nuclear mechanotransduction

S Antoku, TU Schwartz, GG Gundersen - Frontiers in Cell and …, 2023 - frontiersin.org
In this review, we discuss FHOD formins with a focus on recent studies that reveal a new role
for them as critical links for nuclear mechanotransduction. The FHOD family in vertebrates …
