Optoregulated force application to cellular receptors using molecular motors

Optoregulated force application to cellular receptors using molecular motors

Molecular scale force application in physiological environments is important for studying mechanotransduction. Here, the authors use a molecular machine to apply forces at cell-matrix and cell-cell junctions using light to trigger twisting actuation which then pulls on cell membrane receptors.
