Nanotopography modulates intracellular excitable systems through cytoskeleton actuation

Q. Yang, Y. Miao, P. Banerjee, M. J. Hourwitz, M. Hu, Q. Qing, P. A. Iglesias, P. N. Devreotes, J. T. Fourkas, W. Losert

The paper shows nanotopography is sensed directly by cytoskeletal networks, with implications for texture sensing and guidance cues in microenvironments.
