This study identifies how GBM cells use Plexin-D1 and Plexin-B2 to gain mechanocompliance, enabling immune-silent invasion through tissue.

This study identifies cortical tension as a mechanical barrier that prevents premature neuronal differentiation during neurogenesis, showing that reducing it accelerates neuronal lineage commitment and differentiation.

This study identifies Plexin-B2 as a regulator of cell mechanics during multicellular organization, showing its role in modulating cell stiffness, contractility, and differentiation in human stem and progenitor cells.
