Research sheds light (literally) on cellular forces

Friday, August 26, 2016 - 08:51 in Physics & Chemistry

Mechanical forces are a critical part of essential cellular behaviors, from muscle contraction to cell division. Exactly how they generate those forces, however, isn’t entirely understood. An artificial cellular environment and a photosensitive drug have now given researchers a clearer picture of the process and potentially clues to how cancer cells behave. The results of […]
