Mechanotransduction in cells

Cell Biology International
Wolfgang H Goldmann

Abstract

Cell-matrix and cell-cell adhesions critically influence cell metabolism, protein synthesis, cell survival, cytoskeletal architecture and consequently cell mechanical properties such as migration, spreading and contraction. An important group of adhesive transmembrane receptors that mechanically link the ECM (extracellular matrix) with the internal cytoskeleton are integrins which are intimately connected with the FAs (focal adhesions) which consists of many proteins. The transient formation of FAs is greatly augmented either through externally applied tension to the cell or internally through myosin II-driven cell contractility. Exactly which protein(s) within FAs sense, transmit and respond to mechanical stress is currently debated and numerous candidates have been proposed.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
