Microsurgery-aided in-situ force probing reveals extensibility and viscoelastic properties of individual stress fibers

Actin-myosin filament bundles (stress fibers) are critical for tension generation and cell shape, but their mechanical properties are difficult to access. Here we propose a novel approach to probe individual peripheral stress fibers in living cells through a microsurgically generated opening in the...
