The review discusses nuclear mechanotransduction in the context of stem cell fate and disease and suggests that improved understanding may open treatment avenues.
The review states that it remains unclear which reported nuclear events are direct mechanotransduction processes and which are downstream of other mechanotransduction pathways.
The review summarizes candidate nuclear response mechanisms including partial unfolding, conformational changes and phosphorylation of nuclear envelope proteins, modulation of nuclear import and export, and altered chromatin organization leading to transcriptional changes.
