Cells exert forces on their environment, mainly but not exclusively through the contractile acto-myosin machinery. These forces are transmitted to the extracellular surroundings through integrin-based ...

In order to increase our understanding of structural dynamics of biomolecules at the single-molecule level, they would need to be captured at the sub-nanometer scale and in physiologically relevant ...

Scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine have developed a computational technique that greatly increases the resolution of atomic force microscopy, a specialized type of microscope that "feels" the atoms ...
