This study identifies the distinct and combined roles of actin and vimentin in determining cell viscoelasticity and compression stiffening using mouse embryonic fibroblasts.

This study shows that plectin increases fibroblast stiffness and protects against actin network disruption under compression.

This study develops optogenetic and chemical genetic tools to rapidly manipulate vimentin intermediate filaments and examines their immediate effects on cellular structures.

This study shows that cancer cell deformability affects their ability to squeeze through narrow spaces but not their decision-making at channel junctions.

This study uses a microvessel-on-a-chip model to compare the effects of short and long ultrasound cycles on vascular permeability and sonoporation induced by microbubbles.
