Reduced matrix rigidity promotes neonatal cardiomyocyte dedifferentiation, proliferation and clonal expansion [PDF]
Cardiomyocyte (CM) maturation in mammals is accompanied by a sharp decline in their proliferative and regenerative potential shortly after birth. In this study, we explored the role of the mechanical properties of the underlying matrix in the regulation ...

Data on the mechanobiological differences in the transcriptomes of human fetal and adult dermal fibroblasts in response to extracellular matrix rigidity [PDF]
Fetal skin is known to proceed through the wound healing process without the formation of scar tissue but rather via regeneration. Fetal dermal fibroblasts have emerged as a significant driving force in this regenerative response due to their unique ...

Matrix rigidity has been introduced by \textit{L. G. Valiant} [Lect. Notes Comput. Sci. 53, 162-176 (1977; Zbl 0384.68046)] in connection with the complexity theory, namely that of proving nontrivial lower bounds on the length of computations. Valiant suggested that nonlinear lower bounds on the length of programs can be proved by constructing matrices

Elucidating the Role of Matrix Porosity and Rigidity in Glioblastoma Type IV Progression
The highly infiltrating nature of glioma cells is the major cause for the poor prognosis of brain malignancies. Motility, proliferation, and gene expression of cells in natural and synthetic gels have been analyzed by several authors, yet quantitative ...

Zyxin Is Involved in Fibroblast Rigidity Sensing and Durotaxis
Focal adhesions (FAs) are specialized structures that enable cells to sense their extracellular matrix rigidity and transmit these signals to the interior of the cells, bringing about actin cytoskeleton reorganization, FA maturation, and cell migration ...

Differential matrix rigidity response in breast cancer cell lines correlates with the tissue tropism. [PDF]
Metastasis to a variety of distant organs, such as lung, brain, bone, and liver, is a leading cause of mortality in the breast cancer patients. The tissue tropism of breast cancer metastasis has been recognized and studied extensively, but the cellular ...

Probabilistic rank and matrix rigidity [PDF]
We consider a notion of probabilistic rank and probabilistic sign-rank of a matrix, which measures the extent to which a matrix can be probabilistically represented by low-rank matrices. We demonstrate several connections with matrix rigidity, communication complexity, and circuit lower bounds, including: The Walsh-Hadamard Transform is Not Very Rigid.
