Molecular Mechanisms of Cellular Mechanosensing
Mechanical forces direct a host of cellular and tissue processes. Although much emphasis has been placed on cell-adhesion complexes as force sensors, the forces must nevertheless be transmitted through the cortical cytoskeleton. Yet how the actin cortex senses and transmits forces and how cytoskeletal proteins interact in response to the forces is poorly understood. Here, by combining molecular...

متن کاملo14: cellular and molecular mechanisms of spinal cord trauma
the prevalence of spinal cord injury (sci) is about 2.5 million in the worldwide and more than 130,000 new injuries reported each year. regeneration in the cns versus the pns is very different from the other tissues and many factors can prevent regeneration in pns and specially cns. previous researches demonstrated that regeneration of cns can inhibit by inhibitory molecules and glial scar. the...
متن کاملBiopolymer Networks and Cellular Mechanosensing
Cells and tissues are mechanical as well as biochemical machines, and cellular response to mechanical cues can have as large an influence on structure and function as chemical signals. The mechanical properties of cells are largely determined by networks of semiflexible polymers forming the cytoskeleton, which has viscoelastic properties that differ in important ways from the viscoelasticity of...
متن کاملCellular Mechanisms of Altered Contractility in the Hypertrophied Heart
To investigate the cellular mechanisms for altered Ca homeostasis and contractility in cardiac hypertrophy, we measured whole-cell L-type Ca currents (ICa,L), whole-cell Ca 21 transients ([Ca]i), and Ca 21 sparks in ventricular cells from 6-month-old spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) and from ageand sex-matched Wistar-Kyoto and Sprague-Dawley control rats. By echocardiography, SHR hearts h...
