A microtubule stability switch alters isolated vascular smooth muscle calcium flux in response to matrix rigidity

R. T. Johnson, F. Wostear, R. Solanki, O. Steward, C. J. Morris, S. Bidula, D. T. Warren

The paper shows that microtubule stability regulates vascular smooth muscle cell volume and calcium flux in response to matrix rigidity.

Using polyacrylamide hydrogels to model physiological aortic stiffness reveals that microtubules are critical regulators of isolated smooth muscle cell morphology and contractility.

S. Ahmed, R. T. Johnson, R. Solanki, T. Afewerki, F. Wostear, D. T. Warren

This study uses polyacrylamide hydrogels to model aortic stiffness and shows microtubules regulate VSMC morphology and contractility by balancing actomyosin forces.
