Direct measurement of near-nano-Newton forces developed by self-organizing actomyosin fibers bound α-catenin
CONCLUSIONS: Using this method, we show that self-organizing actomyosin bundles bound to micrometric α-catenin patches can apply near-nano-Newton forces.SIGNIFICANCE: Our results pave the way for future studies on molecular/cellular mechanotransduction and mechanosensing.PMID:34287982 | DOI:10.1111/boc.202100014
