The mechanical response of talin
Talin is a mechanosensing cytoplasmic adaptor that links integrin cell adhesion receptors to the actin cytoskeleton. Here the authors measure the force-dependent folding and refolding kinetics of all talin rod domains to propose that talin can function as a force buffer under physiologically relevan...
