Dynamic mechanisms of cell rigidity sensing: insights from a computational model of actomyosin networks.
Cells modulate themselves in response to the surrounding environment like substrate elasticity, exhibiting structural reorganization driven by the contractility of cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton is the scaffolding structure of eukaryotic cells, playing a central role in many mechanical and biologica...
