Cytoskeleton-Dependent Autophagy Under Mechanical Stress
2026-09-14
The reference study shows that compressive mechanical stress induces autophagy through a cytoskeleton-dependent process in human cell lines, with microfilaments acting as the principal structural component and microtubules contributing an auxiliary role. Its combination of cytoskeletal polymerization perturbation, fluorescence imaging, and western blotting provides a useful framework for separating mechanical sensing from downstream autophagy responses.
