Researchers at @_BIST demonstrated that the formation of fibrillar adhesions locks the nucleus in a mechanically deformed conformation, setting the mechano-response timescale to that of fibrillar adhesion remodeling.

In this perspective, we discuss the connections between mechanobiology and metabolism, and how innovative approaches, such as spatial mechano-transcriptomics, can provide new insights on the physiopathology of inherited metabolic disorders.
