Optical tweezers combined with FRET tension sensor reveal force-dependent vinculin dynamics

Camille Dubois, Rick I. Cohen, Nada N. Boustany, Nathalie Westbrook

This study uses optical tweezers and FRET microscopy to measure vinculin dynamics under force, finding that recruitment depends on trap stiffness rather than force magnitude.
