Communications Biology, 6, Article 463. https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-023-04780-8Biomechanical cues from the extracellular matrix (ECM) are essential for directing many cellular processes, from normal development and repair, to disease progression. To better understand cell-matrix interactions, we have developed a new instrument... Read More about OptoRheo: Simultaneous in situ micro-mechanical sensing and imaging of live 3D biological systems.
