The tip-link complex of the hair cell is mechanically tuned along the tonotopic axis of the cochlea.

The action of the collagen receptor DDR2 in CAFs regulates Rap1-Talin1 mediated Integrin mechanotransduction in breast tumors to impact tumor stiffness and metastases.

Direct measurement of finely patterned mechanical properties in a native basement membrane demonstrate how force asymmetries arising from this extracellular matrix, rather than from cells, can precisely sculpt a tissue.

Novel blood pressure devices provide an estimated pulse wave velocity, which is no substitute for measured pulse wave velocity and clinicians should be aware that it only reflects trends derived from representative population samples based on age and blood pressure.

Tumor stiffness blocks T cell migration in tumors.

Hippocampal neurons undergo bi-stable behavior as neurites emerge, and the dominance of either state is determined by environmental mechanical properties and paxillin-associated cellular endocytic activities.

Nuclear reorganization and stiffening accompanies mesenchymal stem cell differentiation, resulting in increased sensitivity to mechanical perturbation.

The dendritic cell actin cytoskeleton provides a platform for T cell mechanosensing, delivering novel biophysical cues that serve as costimulatory signals for T cell activation.

The growth of multicellular bacterial structures called biofilms generates forces that deform soft material substrates and disrupt epithelial cell layers, potentially mechanically damaging host tissue.

Nuclear export inhibition reveals concurrent epithelial and mesenchymal phenotypes that cause mechanosensitive disorder in collectively migrating epithelia.
