Cell shape information is transduced through tension-independent mechanisms

Cell shape information is transduced through tension-independent mechanisms

It is not known whether the shape of a cell can regulate cellular phenotype independently. Here, the authors show that culturing kidney podocytes or smooth muscle cells on 3-D biomimetic surfaces results in phenotypic changes and that cell shape is sensed by integrin β3 in a tension-independent mann...
