Force Transduction and Strain Dynamics through Actin Stress Fibres of the Cytoskeleton
It is becoming clear that mechanical stimuli are critical in regulating cell biology; however, the short-term structural response of a cell to mechanical forces remains relatively poorly understood. We mechanically stimulated cells expressing actin-EGFP with controlled forces (0-20nN) in order to in...
