Molecular regulation by ECM stiffness. Integrins respond to ECM stiffness by clustering together to activate adaptor proteins of focal adhesion and downstream signaling molecules to regulate cell behavior. Previous findings of the regulatory pathways underlying the molecular mechanism induced by ECM stiffness are illustrated as representative examples.
