    • Direct force measurements of subcellular mechanics in confinement using optical tweezers 

      Català Castro, Frederic; Venturini, Valeria; Ruprecht, Verena; Krieg, Michael (2021-08-31)
      Article
      Open Access
      During the development of a multicellular organism, a single fertilized cell divides and gives rise to multiple tissues with diverse functions. Tissue morphogenesis goes in hand with molecular and structural changes at the ...
    • The nucleus measures shape changes for cellular proprioception to control dynamic cell behavior 

      Venturini, Valeria; Pezzano, Fabio; Català Castro, Frederic; Häkkinen, Hanna-Maria; Jiménez-Delgado, Senda; Colomer Rosell, Mariona; Marro, Monica; Tolosa-Ramon, Queralt; Paz-López, Sonia; Valverde, Miguel A.; Weghuber, Julian; Loza- Alvarez, Pablo; Krieg, Michael; Wieser, Stefan; Ruprecht, Verena (ACS, 2020-10-16)
      Article
      Open Access
      Single cells continuously experience and react to mechanical challenges in three-dimensional tissues. Spatial constraints in dense tissues, physical activity, and injury all impose changes in cell shape. How cells can ...
