How it works

The model links cytoskeletal transitions to mechanical maturation during G1-phase cell spreading. — Hierarchical phase transitions as mechanical checkpoints of intracellular organization
As spreading progresses on stiff substrates, tension-bearing structures increase and enable subsequent transitions. — Hierarchical phase transitions as mechanical checkpoints of intracellular organization
The framework gives a physical basis for linking substrate stiffness, cell spreading, cytoskeletal maturation, and G1 progression. — Hierarchical phase transitions as mechanical checkpoints of intracellular organization
The transitions are proposed to coordinate cytoskeletal maturation with cell-cycle progression. — Hierarchical phase transitions as mechanical checkpoints of intracellular organization
