Force-Induced Unfolding of Fibronectin in the Extracellular Matrix of Living Cells

Whether mechanically unfolded fibronectin (Fn) is present within native extracellular matrix fibrils is controversial. Fn extensibility under the influence of cell traction forces has been proposed to originate either from the force-induced lengthening of an initially compact, folded quaternary stru...
