CYCLIC STRETCHING-INDUCED EPITHELIAL CELL REORIENTATION IS DRIVEN BY MICROTUBULE-MODULATED TRANSVERSE EXTENSION DURING THE RELAXATION PHASE

Cyclic stretching-induced epithelial cell reorientation is driven by microtubule-modulated transverse extension during the relaxation phase

Abstract Many types of adherent cells are known to reorient upon uniaxial cyclic stretching perpendicularly to the direction of stretching to facilitate such important events as wound healing, angiogenesis, and morphogenesis.While this phenomenon has been documented for decades, the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood.Using an read more
