A new study has shown that physical forces cause cells to increase gene expression (explained in the video below), without needing any other influence. Less than a millisecond after a cell is ...

Epithelial tissues are in constant interaction with their environment. Maintaining their functionality requires dynamic balance (homeostasis) and that their cell numbers are tightly regulated. This is ...

Cells will ramp up gene expression in response to physical forces alone, a new study finds. Gene activation, the first step of protein production, starts less than one millisecond after a cell is ...
