The paper shows that cells spread on fluid lipid bilayers coated with Invasin, relying on microtubule-mediated forces rather than actomyosin contraction.

This study shows IpaA activates vinculin in distinct ways during Shigella invasion and cell-matrix adhesion, with different effects on invasion and adhesion.

This study shows that Shigella IpaA induces vinculin homo-oligomerization, leading to actin bundling and stable cell adhesion independent of force transduction.

This paper shows that Shigella's IpaA protein causes vinculin to oligomerize, strengthening cell adhesion during bacterial invasion.

The paper shows Piezo1 binds to matrix adhesions in a force-dependent manner in normal cells, promoting adhesion maturation and calcium entry, but not in tumor cells.

This study shows that astrocytic connexin 43 facilitates pneumococcal meningitis by promoting bacterial translocation and cytosolic calcium increase through pneumolysin action.

This study investigates how AIEC LF82 survives and multiplies in macrophages, revealing phenotypic switches and antibiotic tolerance mechanisms.
