Nanomechanical properties of enucleated cells: contribution of the nucleus to the passive cell mechanics

Abstract Background The nucleus, besides its functions in the gene maintenance and regulation, plays a significant role in the cell mechanosensitivity and mechanotransduction. It is the largest cellular organelle that is often considered as the stiffest cell part as well. Interestingly, the previous...
