Integrins: Bidirectional, Allosteric Signaling Machines
TL;DR: Current structural and cell biological data suggest models for how integrins transmit signals between their extracellular ligand binding adhesion sites and their cytoplasmic domains, which link to the cytoskeleton and to signal transduction pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geometric control of cell life and death.
TL;DR: Human and bovine capillary endothelial cells were switched from growth to apoptosis by using micropatterned substrates that contained extracellular matrix-coated adhesive islands of decreasing size to progressively restrict cell extension.

Cell shape, cytoskeletal tension, and rhoa regulate stem cell lineage commitment
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cell shape regulates commitment of human mesenchymal stem cells to adipocyte or osteoblast fate and mechanical cues experienced in developmental and adult contexts, embodied by cell shape, cytoskeletal tension, and RhoA signaling, are integral to the commitment of stem cell fate.
