Article Synopsis
- Cellular force plays a critical role in cell mechanics and tissue development, with recent research suggesting that left-right (LR) biased cell motion contributes to asymmetry in tissue architecture.
- A new tool, called a nanowire magnetoscope, was developed to measure the rotating force applied by cells, revealing that different cell types exert varying LR-biased torques, such as NIH 3T3 fibroblasts showing counterclockwise torque.
- The study highlights the importance of the actin ring structure in determining this LR bias and opens up new avenues for understanding how mechanical forces in cells influence tissue formation and the overall physiology.
