Tensions measured on cells under microscope

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Under the microscope, tiny pipettes tug at living cells to exert forces on their structures, measure those forces and observe the consequences for the cells. Credit: Georgia Tech / Allison Carter
