Mechanotransduction describes the process by which cells convert mechanical stimuli from their environment into biochemical signals. Central to this process are the Rho family of small GTPases, ...

Rho GTPases constitute a family of molecular switches that orchestrate the remodelling of the actin cytoskeleton, thereby directing cell shape, adhesion, migration and invasion. In their active ...

Signal transduction The cellular process that converts a signal, such as a hormone, growth factor, neurotransmitter, cytokine, mechanical force, or environmental cue, into biochemical changes inside ...
