The paper develops a theoretical framework to explain how cells sense and respond to surface curvature, showing that both mean and Gaussian curvature influence cell orientation and migration.

This study identifies fibrillar adhesions as the primary integrin complexes that respond to matrix topography, forming independently of focal adhesions.

This study identifies a multicellular actin star network in adult murine intestinal epithelium that maintains tissue stability and organization through mechanical and structural mechanisms.

This study investigates how Drosophila larval nociceptors detect mechanical forces, finding that they preferentially sense localized poking and rely on specific molecular and structural features.
