Intracellular tension sensor reveals mechanical anisotropy of the actin cytoskeleton
Abstract The filamentous actin (F-actin) cytoskeleton is a composite material consisting of cortical actin and bundled F-actin stress fibers, which together mediate the mechanical behaviors of the cell, from cell division to cell migration. However, as mechanical forces are typically measured upon t...
