The molecular clutch model for mechanotransduction evolves
(2016) In Nature Cell Biology 18(5). p.61-459- Abstract
Many biological processes are influenced by the mechanical rigidity of surrounding tissues. Now, a combination of experiments and mathematical modelling has been used to describe the precise molecular and physical mechanism by which cells sense and respond to the mechanical properties of their extracellular environment through integrin-based adhesions.
