AbstractMesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) interact with their surroundings via integrins, which link to the actin cytoskeleton and translate physical cues into biochemical signals through mechanotransduction. N-cadherins enable cell-cell communication and are also linked to the cytoskeleton. This crosstalk between integrins and cadherins modulates MSC mechanotransduction and fate.

AbstractCellular processes can be modulated by physical means, such as light, which offers advantages over chemically inducible systems with respect to spatiotemporal control. Here we introduce an optogenetic gene expression system for Lactococcus lactis that utilizes a split T7 RNA polymerase linked to two variants of the Vivid regulators.
