Brick Strex: a robust device built of LEGO bricks for mechanical manipulation of cells

Abstract Cellular forces, mechanics and other physical factors are important co-regulators of normal cell and tissue physiology. These cues are often misregulated in diseases such as cancer, where altered tissue mechanics contribute to the disease progression. Furthermore, intercellular tensile and...
