Measuring mechanical tension across vinculin reveals regulation of focal adhesion dynamics

Mechanical forces are central to developmental, physiological and pathological processes1. However, limited understanding of force transmission within sub-cellular structures is a major obstacle to unravelling molecular mechanisms. Here we describe the development of a calibrated biosensor that meas...
