Abstract: Surface receptors of animal cells, such as integrins, promote mechanosensation by forming clusters as signaling hubs that transduce tensile forces. Walled cells of plants and fungi also feature surface sensors, with long extracellular domains that… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2022.864522
Abstract: Mechanical forces are now recognized as key cellular effectors that together with genetic and cellular signals physically shape and pattern tissues and organs during development. Increasing efforts are aimed toward understanding the less explored role… read more here.
