Extracellular Matrix Elasticity Regulates Osteocyte Gap Junction Elongation: Involvement of Paxillin in Intracellular Signal Transduction

Background/Aims: Osteocytes can sense and respond to extracellular stimuli, including biochemical factors throughout the cell body, dendritic processes, and cilia bending. However, further exploration is required of osteocyte function in response to substrate stiffness, an important passive mechanic...
