Viscoelastic retraction of single living stress fibers and its impact on cell shape, cytoskeletal organization, and extracellular matrix mechanics. (2006, background): “Taken together, these data confirm that isometric tension in the cytoskeleton governs cell shape stability, and that this cellular force balance results from both active actomyosinbased tension generation and passive contributions from the cell’s ECM adhesions, as predicted by the tensegrity model o”
Conserved microtubule–actin interactions in cell movement and morphogenesis (2003, neutral): “(3) Spindle orientation; MTOC reorientation during”
Tensegrity II. How structural networks influence cellular information processing networks (2003, background): “Because the basement membrane is tensed because of tensegrity and the existence of a stabilizing prestress at the tissue level (Ingber, 2003), this local region may stretch out more than adjacent regions, much like a ‘run’ in a woman’s stocking.”
Mechanotransduction at a distance: mechanically coupling the extracellular matrix with the nucleus (2009, background): “However, an alternative model of cell structure suggests that this dynamically remodelling cytoskeleton is also a 'hard-wired' tensegrity network that can promote coordinated changes in cell, cytoskeletal and nuclear structure in response to mechanical distortio”
Comparison of quantitative methods for cell‐shape analysis (2007, background): “…competing and highly regulated biological processes, controlled by interactions between the cytoskeleton, the membrane and membrane-bound proteins and the extracellular environment (Schock & Perrimon, 2002; Ingber, 2003; Smith, 2003; Ding et al. , 2004; Cabeen & Jacobs-Wagner, 2005; Carthew, 2005).”
Cellular mechanotransduction: putting all the pieces together again (2006, background): “These are all features observed in whole organs as well as tissues, cells, membranes, cytoskeletal networks, subcellular organelles, nuclei, mitotic spindles, transport vesicles, viruses, and proteins (54, 72, 73, 158, 159, 161).”
