Mechanosensitivity of nucleocytoplasmic transport

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that force application to the nucleus leads to nuclear accumulation of proteins by differentially affecting passive versus facilitated nucleocytoplasmic transport, and the mechanosensitivity of several transcriptional regulators can be both explained by this mechanism, and engineered exogenously by introducing appropriate nuclear localization signals.
Image Analysis for the Quantitative Comparison of Stress Fibers and Focal Adhesions
Alberto Elosegui-Artola,Alvaro Jorge-Peñas,O. Moreno-Arotzena,Amaia Oregi,Marta Lasa,José Manuel García-Aznar,Elena M. De Juan-Pardo,Rafael Aldabe +7 more
TL;DR: Two different computational tools are designed to quantify actin SFs and the distribution of actin cytoskeletal proteins within a normalized cellular morphology and provide a better insight into the cell mechanics and broadens the knowledge of the nature of SFs.
Morphological Cues for Regulation of Cell Adhesion and Motility with Tailored Electrospun Scaffolds of PCL and PCL/PVP Blends
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the nano/microstructural morphological cues of the scaffolds, e.g. nanoporosity of fibers and fiber density and thus porosity, plays a key role in possible targets to regulate cell behaviors, suggesting that well-tailored electrospun scaffolds with desired composition and Fiber density are required for a potential means for application in tissue engineering.
Role of Myocardial Collagen in Severe Aortic Stenosis With Preserved Ejection Fraction and Symptoms of Heart Failure.
Kattalin Echegaray,Ion Andreu,Ane Lazkano,Iñaki Villanueva,Alberto Sáenz,M.R. Elizalde,Tomás Echeverría,Begoña López,Asier Garro,Arantxa González,Elena Zubillaga,Itziar Solla,Iñaki Sanz,Jesús González,Alberto Elosegui-Artola,Pere Roca-Cusachs,Javier Díez,Susana Ravassa,Ramón Querejeta +18 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that, in patients with severe aortic stenosis with preserved ejection fraction and symptoms of heart failure, diastolic dysfunction is associated with increased nonmysial deposition of collagen, predominantly type I, resulting in increased extracellular matrix stiffness.
Integrin Binding Dynamics Modulate Ligand-Specific Mechanosensing in Mammary Gland Fibroblasts
Martina Lerche,Alberto Elosegui-Artola,Jenny Z. Kechagia,Camilo Guzmán,Maria Georgiadou,Ion Andreu,Donald Gullberg,Pere Roca-Cusachs,Emilia Peuhu,Emilia Peuhu,Johanna Ivaska,Johanna Ivaska +11 more
TL;DR: It is described that loss of the integrin inhibitor, SHARPIN, impedes MSF spreading specifically on soft type I collagen but not on fibronectin, and α11β1 play a role in collagen-specific mechanosensing in MSFs.
