Switchable microscale stress response of actin-vimentin composites emerges from scale-dependent interactions

Julie Pinchiaroli, Renita Saldanha, Alison E. Patteson…·Bekele Gurmessa

This study investigates the mechanical properties of actin-vimentin composites using optical tweezers microrheology, revealing scale-dependent interactions that influence stress response and rheological behavior.
