The focal adhesion-localized CdGAP regulates matrix rigidity sensing and durotaxis.
Motile cells are capable of sensing the stiffness of the surrounding extracellular matrix through integrin-mediated focal adhesions and migrate towards regions of higher rigidity in a process known as durotaxis. Durotaxis plays an important role in normal development and disease progression, includi...
