Cell behaviour under externally applied mechanical load

The cytoskeleton plays a very important role in upholding the mechanical integrity and controlling the movement of the cell. One technique to probe into the mechanical properties of the cell, which is influenced by the cytoskeleton, is to use micropipette aspiration as it allows us to measure the el...
