This study identifies FHOD3 and DIAPH3 as regulators of stress fiber orientation and cell migration, showing they control distinct F-actin networks that influence cell shape and motility.

This paper develops a method to create stiffness gradients in alginate hydrogels using stencils, enabling the study of mechanosensitive cell behaviors like cancer cell invasion.

This study investigates how formins and Arp2/3 regulate contact guidance on aligned collagen fibrils through cytoskeletal dynamics and myosin contractility.

This study measures traction forces on aligned collagen fibers using d-TFM and finds that substrate stiffness and cytoskeletal regulators influence traction stress and migration.
