1. 1. Mapping the relationship between integrin activation, focal adhesion organization and mechanotransduction in fibroblasts

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

   Författare :Valeriia Grudtsyna; [2021]
   Nyckelord :Mechanotransduction; Focal adhesions; Yes-associated protein 1 YAP ; Integrins; Fibronectin; Polarization microscopy; TIRF microscopy; Fluorescence anisotropy; YAP activation; Image analysis; Cell biology; Technology and Engineering;

   Sammanfattning : Cells can sense and respond to mechanical forces through a process called mechanotransduction. It is controlled by the mechanical cues, originated from the cell's microenvironment, and occurs via a complex, step-wise process. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : Novel biomimetic three-dimensional scaffolds have emerged over the last decades, and are promising for applications in regenerative therapies, as well as in in vitro disease modelling and drug testing. Thanks to their added dimension, these scaffolds are able to more accurately mimic the topography of native cellular microenvironments compared to traditionally used two-dimensional culture substrates.
