Ladoux/Mège Lab : Mechanical stress driven by rigidity sensing governs epithelial stability

L'équipe Ladoux/Mège vient de publier un article dans Nature Physics :   Mechanical stress driven by rigidity sensing governs epithelial stability Abstract: Epithelia act as barriers against environmental stresses. They are continuously exposed to various mechanical stress and abrasion, which impact epithelial integrity. The impact of the environment on epithelial integrity remains elusive. By culturing epithelial cells…
