Extracellular matrix stiffness regulates human airway smooth muscle contraction by altering the cell-cell coupling

For an airway or a blood vessel to narrow, there must be a connected path that links the smooth muscle (SM) cells with each other, and transmits forces around the organ, causing it to constrict. Currently, we know very little about the mechanisms that regulate force transmission pathways in a multic...
