Volume measurement and biophysical characterization of mounds in epithelial monolayers after intracellular bacterial infection

Summary: Mechanical forces are important in (patho)physiological processes, including how host epithelial cells interact with intracellular bacterial pathogens. As these pathogens disseminate within host epithelial monolayers, large mounds of infected cells are formed due to the forceful action of s...
