Mechanical stress driven by rigidity sensing governs epithelial stability
S. Sonam et al. Nature Physics, 19, 2023, 132–141. 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 (...)
