Matrix compliance regulates Rac1b localization, NADPH oxidase assembly, and epithelial–mesenchymal transition

Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a form of epithelial plasticity implicated in fibrosis and tumor metastasis. Here we show that the mechanical rigidity of the microenvironment plays a pivotal role in the promotion of EMT by controlling the subcellular localization and downstream signaling...
