Focal adhesion kinase: the reversible molecular mechanosensor

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Samuel Bell from the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom have published the article: Focal Adhesion Kinase: The Reversible Molecular Mechanosensor, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
  • what: The authors develop a theoretical model describing the physical mechanism of a reversible single-molecule stiffness sensor. The authors focus all the discussion on the focal adhesion kinase, in association with integrin and talin, connecting the force-providing cytoskeletal F-actin and the varying-stiffness ECM.

SUMMARY

    As the name suggests, FAK is abundant in the regions of focal adhesions, which are . . .
