The findings, published in <em>Nature Materials<\/em>, reveal a timing mechanism that allows cells to ignore brief mechanical noise while reacting to sustained changes, a process that is crucial in diseases such as cancer and fibrosis.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In everyday life, cells are exposed to a wide range of mechanical signals. Tissues in organs such as the lungs, heart or bladder constantly experience fast, repetitive forces from breathing, heartbeats or bladder emptying, while slower and more persistent changes occur during processes such as wound healing or tumour growth.<\/p>\n<p>Cells must continuously interpret these physical forces alongside chemical signals from their surroundings. While scientists have long understood how cells respond to chemical cues, much less was known about how they process mechanical signals over time.<\/p>\n<p>Now, researchers believe that cells use a \u2018low-pass filter\u2019 to screen short-term disturbances, but respond to persistent, longer-term changes.<\/p>\n<p>Professor <strong>Pere Roca-Cusachs<\/strong>, senior author of the work, principal investigator of the the <a href=\"https:\/\/ibecbarcelona.eu\/cellmolmech\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cellular and Molecular Mechanobiology group at IBEC<\/a> and Full Professor at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences of the University of Barcelona (UB), explains:\u00a0\u201cImagine you\u2019re driving on a motorway and hear a loud noise next to you. Likely, you\u2019ll react immediately because it could be dangerous. But if you hear a small, unusual sound from your own engine, you might ignore it unless it persists for some time. Cells face a similar challenge \u2013 they need to decide which signals matter, and when to respond to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The team found that cells rely on structures called fibrillar adhesions, specialised contact points that allow cells to physically grip their surroundings and transmit mechanical forces to their interior, for this mechanism.<\/p>\n<p>These structures help \u2018hold\u2019 the cell\u2019s nucleus in a deformed state even after the force disappears, allowing the signal to persist for about an hour \u2013 held together by a network of fibres called vimentin to maintain the effect over time. When this system is disrupted, cells lose the ability to \u201chold onto\u201d mechanical signals and respond much more quickly \u2013 but less selectively.<\/p>\n<p>In effect, this creates a biological filter. Brief forces are ignored, but sustained ones trigger a response. Many important processes, including the activity of cancer-linked protein YAP, depend on this timing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr Amy Beedle<\/strong>, Lecturer in Biological Physics at King\u2019s and lead author of the study, said \u201cThis work has huge implications for not just how cells and tissues function, but this temporal element, which we\u2019re amongst the first to examine, is big for the future of treatment.\u201cMany diseases, including cancer and fibrosis, involve long-term changes in tissue stiffness and mechanical forces. Understanding how cells interpret how these complex mechanical signals are playing a part in disease progression could empower researchers design better therapies in the future\u201d, explains the researcher.<\/p>\n<p>The findings also show that this mechanism helps protect the cell\u2019s nucleus from damage under physical stress.\u00a0The team now aims to further explore how this timing mechanism works in complex tissues and disease settings, where mechanical changes are a key part of disease progression.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00bb Article of reference: <\/strong>Amy E.
