Relationship between cell stiffness and stress fiber amount, assessed by simultaneous atomic force microscopy and live-cell fluorescence imaging
Actomyosin stress fibers, one of the main components of the cell’s cytoskeleton, provide mechanical stability to adherent cells by applying and transmitting tensile forces onto the extracellular matrix (ECM) at the sites of cell–ECM adhesion. While it is widely accepted that changes in spatial and t...
