This study investigates how theca cell mechanosensing and extracellular matrix properties regulate ovarian follicle development in mice.

This study identifies a mechanism where invading cells and tissue barriers coordinate to rupture barriers through intercellular adhesions and subcellular contractility, challenging existing models of collective invasion.

This study identifies fibrillar adhesions as the primary integrin complexes that respond to matrix topography, forming independently of focal adhesions.

The paper shows that acute chromatin decompaction increases nuclear stiffness in some cells but not others, depending on their ability to recompact chromatin.
