Nanoscale Optomechanical Actuators for Controlling Mechanotransduction in Living Cells

Herein we develop an approach for optically controlling receptor tension. This is achieved using optomechanical actuator nanoparticles that are controlled with non-invasive near-infrared light. Illumination leads to particle collapse, delivering piconewton forces to specific cell surface receptors w...
