Description: Hamid Tabdili, Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering nnMechanotransduction at Cell-Cell ContactnnDifferential adhesion between cadherin subtypes expressed on cell surfaces is postulated to direct cell segregation during tissue morphogenesis. The studies described here used magnetic twisting cytometry and traction force microscopy to test the impact of cadherin binding selectivity on mechanotransduction and substrate rigidity sensing at cadherin-based adhesions.
