To change shape, divide, form junctions, and migrate, cells reorganize their cytoskeletons in
response to changing mechanical environments [1–4]. Actin cytoskeletal elements, including …

For specialized cell function, as well as active cell behaviors such as division, migration, and
tissue development, cells must undergo dynamic changes in shape. To complete these …

A key regulator of collective cell migrations, which drive development and cancer
metastasis, is substrate stiffness. Increased substrate stiffness promotes migration and is …

Cells have evolved sophisticated systems that integrate internal and external inputs to
coordinate cell shape changes during processes, such as development, cell identity …

Migrating cells need to overcome physical constraints from the local microenvironment to
navigate their way through tissues. Cells that move collectively have the additional …

There has been much recent attention paid to the interaction of cell volume, its regulation,
and the molecular biology of the cell. Cells are generally assumed to behave as linear …

Mechanical properties of living cells can be used as reliable markers of their state, such as
the presence of a pathological state or their differentiation phase. The mechanical behavior …

Introduction: A key regulator of collective cell migration is prostaglandin (PG) signaling.
However, it remains largely unclear whether PGs act within the migratory cells or their …

Dynamical cell shape changes require a highly sensitive cellular system that can respond to
chemical and mechanical inputs. Myosin IIs are key players in the cell's ability to react to …

In this study, extracts from non‐psychoactive Cannabis sativa L. varieties were characterized
by means of ultra high‐performance liquid chromatography coupled with high‐resolution …
