Unchain My Heart: Integrins at the Basis of iPSC Cardiomyocyte Differentiation by Rosaria Santoro, Gianluca Lorenzo Perrucci, Aoife Gowran, Giulio Pompilio

“…The cellular response to the extracellular matrix (ECM) microenvironment mediated by integrin adhesion is of fundamental importance, in both developmental and pathological processes. In particular, mechanotransduction is of growing importance in groundbreaking cellular models such as induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC), since this process may strongly influence cell fate and, thus, augment the precision of differentiation into specific cell types, e.g., cardiomyocytes. …”
