Cell traction force plays a critical role in directing cellular functions, such as proliferation,
migration, and differentiation. Current understanding of cell traction force is largely derived …

Tissues are heterogeneous with respect to cellular and non-cellular components and in the
dynamic interactions between these elements. To study the behaviour and fate of individual …

Mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM) critically regulate a number of
important cell functions including growth, differentiation and migration. Type I collagen and …

As cells migrate through biological tissues, they must frequently squeeze through micron-
sized constrictions in the form of interstitial pores between extracellular matrix fibers and/or …

Ras homolog family member A (RhoA) acts as a signaling hub in many cellular processes,
including cytoskeletal dynamics, division, migration, and adhesion. RhoA activity is tightly …

Mechanical properties of the extracellular matrices (ECMs) critically regulate a number of
important cell function including growth, differentiation and migration. Type I collagen and …

Genetically encoded, fluorescent protein (FP)‐based Förster resonance energy transfer
(FRET) biosensors are microscopy imaging tools tailored for the precise monitoring and …

Binding of autoantibodies to keratinocyte surface antigens, primarily desmoglein 3 (Dsg3) of
the desmosomal complex, leads to the dissociation of cell-cell adhesion in the blistering …

Mechanical properties of the extracellular matrices (ECMs) critically regulate a number of
important cell function including growth, differentiation and migration. Type I collagen and …

Cells interact with the extracellular matrix (ECM) mechanically to perform essential cell
function including migration, proliferation and differentiation, which are critical in …
