• Review on Cell Mechanics: Experimental and Modeling Approaches (2013, background): “It is postulated that forces applied to the cell membrane lead to an increase in membrane tension, which then opens the channels and increases the conductance of extracellular ions that activate signaling pathways that affect cell function and gene regulation [45,49].”
• The myofibroblast: paradigm for a mechanically active cell. (2010, background): “In other words, most cells in the adult organism live in a ‘mechanical niche’ and it is generally acknowledged that this defined set of mechanical cues is crucial to maintain their identity (Discher et al., 2005; Janmey and McCulloch, 2007).”
