Journal ArticleDOI
Super-resolution microscopy reveals LINC complex recruitment at nuclear indentation sites
Marie Versaevel,Jean-Baptiste Braquenier,Maryam Riaz,Thomas Grevesse,Joséphine Lantoine,Sylvain Gabriele +5 more
TL;DR: This work constraining endothelial cells on rectangular fibronectin-coated micropatterns and using Structured Illumination Microscopy to observe the interactions between actin stress fibers, nuclear lamina and LINC complexes at a super-resolution scale indicates that nuclear indentations induce the formation of segregated domains of condensed chromatin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cell confinement: putting the squeeze on the nucleus
TL;DR: It is shown that the study of nuclear confinement with microsystems has opened up new experimental avenues that already offer promising clues for understanding diseases that are associated with defective nuclear mechanics.
Book ChapterDOI
Micropatterning hydroxy-PAAm hydrogels and Sylgard 184 silicone elastomers with tunable elastic moduli.
TL;DR: The complementarity of these two polymeric substrates, combined with an efficient microprinting technique, can be further developed in the future as a powerful mechanobiology platform to investigate in vitro the effect of mechanotransduction cues on cellular functions, gene expression, and stem cell differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Persistence of fan-shaped keratocytes is a matrix-rigidity-dependent mechanism that requires α5β1 integrin engagement.
TL;DR: This study demonstrates a matrix rigidity-dependent regulation of the directional persistence in motile keratocytes and refines the role of αvβ3 and α5β1 integrins in the molecular clutch model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Probing cytoskeletal pre-stress and nuclear mechanics in endothelial cells with spatiotemporally controlled (de-)adhesion kinetics on micropatterned substrates
Marie Versaevel,Maryam Riaz,Tobias Corne,Thomas Grevesse,Joséphine Lantoine,Danahe Mohammed,Céline Bruyère,Laura Alaimo,Winnok H. De Vos,Sylvain Gabriele +9 more
TL;DR: A robust method for probing cellular and nuclear deformation during spreading and detachment from micropatterned substrates is established and it is shown that (de-)adhesion kinetics of endothelial cells are modulated by substrate stiffness and rely on the actomyosin network.
