Ladoux/Mège Lab : Mechanical stress driven by rigidity sensing governs epithelial stability

Home publis, News30 November 2022
The Ladoux/Mège Team has just published a new paper in Nature Physics:   Mechanical stress driven by rigidity sensing governs epithelial stability Abstract: Epithelia act as barriers against environmental stresses. They are continuously exposed to various mechanical stress and abrasion, which impact epithelial integrity. The impact of the environment on epithelial integrity remains elusive. By culturing epithelial…
