The paper defines a mechanical fingerprint to characterize intracellular mechanical states and reveals cell type-specific differences related to biological function.

This study shows that dystrophin modulates baseline homeostatic tension in skeletal muscle, linking increased tissue tension to DMD pathogenesis.

This paper introduces a new observable, mean back relaxation, to detect non-equilibrium dynamics in living systems using passive measurements.

This study introduces a new chamber design for measuring both global and local tension in 3D muscle tissues, revealing early mechanical homeostasis during development.
