Why is it important?
The editors introduced this paper as “Liu et al. use a technique termed single cell force spectroscopy (SCFS) to measure changes in the adhesive and mechanical properties of cells treated with anti-E-cadherin. These results shed new light on dynamic mechanical interactions between cell adhesion proteins and the cytoskeleton”
Perspectives
The light on dynamic mechanical interactions between cell adhesion proteins and the cytoskeleton will be of importance for developing new disease detection techniques.
