Single microtubules and small networks become significantly stiffer on short time-scales upon mechanical stimulation

Abstract The transfer of mechanical signals through cells is a complex phenomenon. To uncover a new mechanotransduction pathway, we study the frequency-dependent transport of mechanical stimuli by single microtubules and small networks in a bottom-up approach using optically trapped beads as anchor...
