MSN: Cells' mechanical force key to survival in cellular competition, study reveals
New model extracts stiffness and fluidity from AFM data in minutes, enabling fast, accurate mechanical characterization of living cells at single-cell resolution. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Cells are not ...
News Medical: Novel biomaterials approach reveals how mechanical forces shape T cell fate
One way to approach this goal is to better understand how T cells ' traits and functions, including their cytotoxic effects on unwanted target cells (effector T cells) or their ability to recall and ...
Structures called desmosomes connect cells to each other and transfer mechanical stress. They are especially important in tissues under continual mechanical stress, such as heart muscle (pictured).
