A stiff extracellular matrix favors the mechanical cell competition that leads to extrusion of bacterially-infected epithelial cells

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Rau00fal Aparicio-Yuste et al. from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Multiscale in Mechanical and Biological Engineering (M BE), Instituto de Investigaciu00f3n en Ingenieru00eda de Aragu00f3n (I A), University of Zaragoza, Zaragoza, Spain, Interfaculty Institute of Microbiology and Infection have published the research work: A Stiff Extracellular Matrix Favors the Mechanical Cell Competition that Leads to Extrusion of Bacterially-Infected Epithelial Cells, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: These cells exhibited tensional asymmetry and thus protruded towards the direction of minimum stress, which lied at the edge of the infection focus. To test this, the . . .
