The princess and the pea: Cells' ultra-sensitivity for strong molecular forces

Knowing how cells exert force and sense mechanical feedback in their microenvironment is crucial to understanding how they activate a wide range of cellular functions, such as cell reproduction, differentiation and adhesion—basic physiological processes that underlie embryo development, tumor metastasis, wound healing and many other aspects of human health and disease.
