Periodic Reporting for period 1 - YAP MECHANO (Elucidating the mechanism of mechanotransduction through YAP and TAZ)

Cells are at any moment exposed to mechanical cues, for the simple fact that they are embedded in tissues imposing defined geometrical and architectural constraints or, in vitro, cultured on 2D surfaces (or 3D matrices) dictating cell shape. The importance of these signals has...
