Mapping Cell-Matrix Stresses during Stretch Reveals Inelastic Reorganization of the Cytoskeleton

The mechanical properties of the living cell are intimately related to cell signaling biology through cytoskeletal tension. The tension borne by the cytoskeleton (CSK) is in part generated internally by the actomyosin machinery and externally by stretch. Here we studied how cytoskeletal tension is m...
