Vinculin association with actin cytoskeleton is necessary for stiffness-dependent regulation of vinculin behavior

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a major regulator of cell behavior. Recent studies have indicated the importance of the physical properties of the ECM, including its stiffness, for cell migration and differentiation. Using actomyosin-generated forces, cells pull the ECM and sense stiffness via cel...
