Regulation of subcellular contractile actin network by extracellular geometry

Cells are active materials which can undergo division, shape changes, and migration. The ability to generate force, which is regulated by the actin cytoskeleton in the spatial and temporal dimensions, is essential for these dynamic behaviors. The distribution and localization of force are controlled...
