Force Mapping during the Formation and Maturation of Cell Adhesion Sites with Multiple Optical Tweezers

Focal contacts act as mechanosensors allowing cells to respond to their biomechanical environment. Force transmission through newly formed contact sites is a highly dynamic process requiring a stable link between the intracellular cytoskeleton and the extracellular environment. To simultaneously inv...
