Fibronectin fibers are highly tensed in healthy organs in contrast to tumors and virus-infected lymph nodes

Fibronectin fibers are highly tensed in healthy organs in contrast to tumors and virus-infected lymph nodes

The extracellular matrix (ECM) acts as reservoir for a plethora of growth factors and cytokines some of which are hypothesized to be regulated by ECM fiber tension. Yet, ECM fiber tension has never been mapped in healthy versus diseased organs. Using our recently developed tension nanoprobe derived...
