Differences in cortical contractile properties between healthy epithelial and cancerous mesenchymal breast cells

Differences in cortical contractile properties between healthy epithelial and cancerous mesenchymal breast cells

Cell contractility is mainly imagined as a force dipole-like interaction based on actin stress fibers that pull on cellular adhesion sites. Here, we present a different type of contractility based on isotropic contractions within the actomyosin cortex. Measuring mechanosensitive cortical contractili...
