Study Reveals How Cell Microenvironment Stiffness Affects Tissue Form
Recently, an interdisciplinary research team from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) has revealed the impact of a cell's microenvironment stiffness on its structure and function, offering insights into tissue healing and scar formation.
- Inefficient wound healing can lead to tissue fibrosis and scar formation, with implications for conditions like cardiac arrest and diseases such as cancer.
- Changes in stiffness influenced cell structure and function, with fibroblasts on less stiff substrates showing rounder shapes, altered cytoskeleton protein levels, cell cycle arrest, reduced growth rates, and cell death.
- The research focused on Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β) as the master regulator ....
