Scientists have created a micro-tool to gauge how minute mechanical forces affect cellular behavior in a 3-dimensional, in vivo-like environment that mimics how tissue actually forms in a living organism.

U. PENN (US)–Bioengineers have developed a micron-sized device to measure and manipulate forces at work as living cells form tissue. The tool could help scientists study irregular or diseased tissue, such as beating cardiac tissue. Continue…
