This study shows that mechanical confinement causes mitochondria to relocate to the nucleus, leading to a nuclear ATP surge that supports DNA repair and cell cycle progression.

The paper shows that nucleocytoplasmic transport (NCT) in cell monolayers responds to mechanical forces but not cell density, contrasting with YAP's response to both mechanics and cell density.

This study shows that cell-matrix forces increase during the loss of naive pluripotency in mESCs and are required for this process.

This study identifies mechanical phenotype differences between LGR5+ and LGR5- colorectal cancer cells, linking them to membrane to cortex attachment proteins and metastatic potential.
