Mechanosensitive ion channels in cell migration

Brenda Canales Coutiño, Roberto Mayor · 27 Apr 2021

Cellular processes are initiated and regulated by different stimuli, including mechanical forces. Cell membrane mechanosensors represent the first step towards the conversion of mechanical stimuli to a biochemical or electrical response. Mechanosensitive (MS) ion channels form a growing family of ion gating channels that respond to direct physical force or plasma membrane deformations. A number…

Mechanobiology of muscle and myofibril morphogenesis

Nuno Miguel Luis, Frank Schnorrer · 1 Dec 2021

Muscles generate forces for animal locomotion. The contractile apparatus of muscles is the sarcomere, a highly regular array of large actin and myosin filaments linked by gigantic titin springs. During muscle development many sarcomeres assemble in series into long periodic myofibrils that mechanically connect the attached skeleton elements. Thus, ATP-driven myosin forces can power movement…
