Suction was used by John Hopkins researchers to learn that individual "molecular muscles" within cells respond to different types of force. This finding may explain how cells "feel" the environment and appropriately adapt their shapes and activities. A summary of the discovery, published online Oct. 20 in the journal iNature Materials/i, specifically sheds light on how forces outside of cells are translated into internal signals.
