Filamins in Mechanosensing and Signaling [PDF]
Annual Review of Biophysics, 2012 Filamins are essential, evolutionarily conserved, modular, multidomain, actin-binding proteins that organize the actin cytoskeleton and maintain extracellular matrix connections by anchoring actin filaments to transmembrane receptors. By cross-linking and anchoring actin filaments, filamins stabilize the plasma membrane, provide cellular cortical ...

Ventilator‐Induced Lung Injury: Mechanotransduction and Potential Therapeutic Targets
MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.Mechanical ventilation (MV) is expected to undergo significant transformative advancements by 2050, with the emergence of personalized ventilation systems that promise to revolutionize respiratory care. However, the risk of ventilator‐induced lung injury (VILI) remains a significant concern at this stage and VILI still exists at that time.

Liquid–Liquid Phase Separation in Major Hallmarks of Cancer
Cell Proliferation, Volume 59, Issue 2, February 2026.Aberrant condensates formed through phase separation are involved in the dysregulation of various critical cellular processes, including genome stability, transcriptional regulation and signal transduction, thereby promoting malignant transformation and the acquisition of multiple cancer hallmarks.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 3, 19 January 2026.The foreign body response (FBR) to biomaterials is primarily driven by macrophages, which often fuse into destructive foreign body giant cells (FBGCs). To address the limited understanding of FBGC formation, a novel microscale core–shell hydrogel 3D model is developed using heterogeneous alginate‐collagen microcapsules with varying stiffness, offering ...

Mechanosensing by Vascular Endothelium
Annual Review of PhysiologyMechanical forces influence different cell types in our bodies. Among the earliest forces experienced in mammals is blood movement in the vascular system. Blood flow starts at the embryonic stage and ceases when the heart stops. Blood flow exposes endothelial cells (ECs) that line all blood vessels to hemodynamic forces.

Associative Learning of Quantitative Mechanosensory Stimuli in Honeybees
InsectsThe proboscis extension response (PER) has been widely used to evaluate honeybees’ (Apis mellifera) learning and memory abilities, typically by using odors and visual cues for the conditioned stimuli.
