Mechanosensitivity of the 2(nd) Kind: TGF-β Mechanism of Cell Sensing the Substrate Stiffness

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 2(nd) kind: how the cell can measure an elastic modulus at a single point of adhesion—and how the cell can receive and interpr...
