Cell Mechanotransduction With Piconewton Forces Applied by Optical Tweezers

Mechanical stresses are always present in the cellular environment and mechanotransduction occurs in all cells. Although many experimental approaches have been developed to investigate mechanotransduction, the physical properties of the mechanical stimulus have yet to be accurately characterized. He...
