Mechanosensation through integrins: cells act locally but think globally.
C ells sense cues that guide their growth and development by probing their microenvironment with surface membrane receptors that elicit intracellular signals when they bind their ligands. Cell interactions with extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules differ from those with soluble regulatory factors, however, because in addition to ligation-induced signaling, cells also apply traction to their int...
متن کاملInelastic behaviour of collagen networks in cell-matrix interactions and mechanosensation.
The mechanical properties of extracellular matrix proteins strongly influence cell-induced tension in the matrix, which in turn influences cell function. Despite progress on the impact of elastic behaviour of matrix proteins on cell-matrix interactions, little is known about the influence of inelastic behaviour, especially at the large and slow deformations that characterize cell-induced matrix...
متن کاملAssaying mechanosensation.
C. elegans detect and respond to diverse mechanical stimuli using neuronal circuitry that has been defined by decades of work by C. elegans researchers. In this WormMethods chapter, we review and comment on the techniques currently used to assess mechanosensory response. This methods review is intended both as an introduction for those new to the field and a convenient compendium for the expert...
متن کاملHESA-A Exerts Its Cytoprotective Effects through Scavenging of Free Radicals: An in Vitro Study
Background: Natural medicines have been recently considered more reasonable for human use most notably due to their safety and tolerance. HESA-A is a marine-originated herbal medicine with a variety of healing effects. However, its exact biological mechanism is not clear. The pre-sent study aimed at the evaluation of the HESA-A antioxidant effect. Methods: Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) an...
متن کاملMechanosensation * Miriam
Wild C. elegans and other nematodes live in dirt and eat bacteria, relying on mechanoreceptor neurons (MRNs) to detect collisions with soil particles and other animals as well as forces generated by their own movement. MRNs may also help animals detect bacterial food sources. Hermaphrodites and males have 22 putative MRNs; males have an additional 46 MRNs, most, if not all of which are needed f...
