This study identifies a membrane-tube-mediated trogocytosis mechanism in adherent cells, showing that uptake depends on target cell viscoelastic properties and shape.

This study shows that viscoelasticity of substrates affects fibroblast adhesion, migration, and YAP activity, suggesting its importance in fibrotic disease modeling.

This study shows prolonged shear stress induces fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition through mechanical and biochemical changes, with lasting effects on cell morphology, adhesion, and migration.
