In senescent cells, distortion of the ellipsoid-like nuclear shape and lamin A folds protruding into the nucleoplasm have been described [ 29], which may also contribute to redistribution of telomeres in senescent cells.

We show that, for sufficiently small grid displacement, this method also minimizes the mean grid-cell distortion, measured by the trace of the metric tensor.

First, cell cell interactions markedly differ between these three in vitro models, leading to changes in cellular geometry which could modify gene expression through mechanical forces or cell distortion (Huang and Ingber, 1999; Huang, 2000).

This view has been supported experimentally by Huang et al. using genome-wide mRNA expression profiling [ 16] as well as by means of analyzing cell fates in response to generalized physical stimuli, such as cell distortion [ 17].
