Mechanosensitivity of the IInd kind: TGFb mechanism of cell sensing the substrate stiffness
Max Cockerill, Michelle K. Rigozzi, Eugene M. Terentjev
Cells can sense forces applied to them, but also the stiffness of their environment. These are two different phenomena, and here we investigate the mechanosensitivity of the IInd k…

How cells feel: stochastic model for a molecular mechanosensor
Matteo Escude, Michelle K. Rigozzi, Eugene M. Terentjev
Understanding mechanosensitivity, i.e. how cells sense the stiffness of their environment is very important, yet there is a fundamental difficulty in understanding its mechanism: t…
