Journal Article
Mendonca, T., Lis-Slimak, K., Matheson, A. B., Smith, M. G., Anane-Adjei, A. B., Ashworth, J. C., …Wright, A. J. (2023). OptoRheo: Simultaneous in situ micro-mechanical sensing and imaging of live 3D biological systems. Communications Biology, 6, Article 463. https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-023-04780-8

Biomechanical 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...
