Journal ArticleDOI

Role of YAP/TAZ in mechanotransduction

TL;DR: YAP/TAZ are identified as sensors and mediators of mechanical cues instructed by the cellular microenvironment and are functionally required for differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells induced by ECM stiffness and for survival of endothelial cells regulated by cell geometry.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Mechanical Checkpoint Controls Multicellular Growth through YAP/TAZ Regulation by Actin-Processing Factors

TL;DR: It is reported that physical and architectural features of a multicellular sheet inform cells about their proliferative capacity through mechanical regulation of YAP and TAZ, known mediators of Hippo signaling and organ growth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electrical stimulation of human embryonic stem cells: cardiac differentiation and the generation of reactive oxygen species.

TL;DR: Cardiac differentiation in these EBs was evidenced by spontaneous contractions, expression of troponin T and its sarcomeric organization, implying that electrical stimulation plays a role in cardiac differentiation of hESCs, through mechanisms associated with the intracellular generation of ROS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Micro-bioreactor array for controlling cellular microenvironments.

TL;DR: The utility of the micro-bioreactor array for controlled studies of hESCs is established, and correlations between the expression of smooth muscle actin and cell density for three different flow configurations are established.
