Actin fusion proteins alter the dynamics of mechanically induced cytoskeleton rearrangement.

Mechanical forces can regulate various functions in living cells. The cytoskeleton is a crucial element for the transduction of forces in cell-internal signals and subsequent biological responses. Accordingly, many studies in cellular biomechanics have been focused on the role of the contractile act...
