Plectin contributes to mechanical properties of living cells

Plectin is a 500-kDa cross-linking protein that plays important roles in a number of cell functions including migration and wound healing. We set out to characterize the role of plectin in mechanical properties of living cells. Plectin(−/−) cells were less stiff than plectin(+/+) cells, but the slop...
