Cell functions are highly dependent on the physical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Integrins are transmembrane receptors providing the main molecular link that attaches cells to the ECM. The distinct biochemical and mechanical properties of integrins enable them to act as bi-directional signalling-hubs. By probing the ECM stiffness via integrin adhesions, cells respond to the rigidity of their environment by tuning proliferation, gene expression and even their epigenetic landscape. Furthermore, integrin adhesions allow cells to exert actomyosingenerated force on the ECM, enabling processes such as cell migration and ECM remodelling. Consequently, integrin activity needs to be thoroughly regulated on several levels. While the ...
