Mechanical properties of extracellular matrices (ECMs) regulate essential cell behaviours,
including differentiation, migration and proliferation, through mechanotransduction. Studies …

Mechanical forces shape cells and tissues during development and adult homeostasis. In
addition, they also signal to cells via mechanotransduction pathways to control cell …

The terms MSC and MSCs have become the preferred acronym to describe a cell and a cell
population of multipotential stem/progenitor cells commonly referred to as mesenchymal …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are present in all organs and tissues. Several studies have
shown the therapeutic potential effect of MSC or their derived products. However, the …

Stem cells and their local microenvironment, or niche, communicate through mechanical
cues to regulate cell fate and cell behaviour and to guide developmental processes. During …

Cell culture has become an indispensable tool to help uncover fundamental biophysical and
biomolecular mechanisms by which cells assemble into tissues and organs, how these …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) and its mechanical properties play an important role in
regulating the cellular responses that occur during tissue regeneration, wound healing, and …

The cell microenvironment has emerged as a key determinant of cell behavior and function
in development, physiology, and pathophysiology. The extracellular matrix (ECM) within the …

The pulmonary extracellular matrix (ECM) determines the tissue architecture of the lung, and
provides mechanical stability and elastic recoil, which are essential for physiological lung …

ABSTRACT YAP and TAZ proteins are transcriptional coactivators encoded by paralogous
genes, which shuttle between the cytoplasm and the nucleus in response to multiple inputs …
