Article Synopsis
- Nonmuscle myosin II (NMII) is crucial for various cellular activities, including cell division and muscle contraction, but measuring the forces it generates in live cells has been challenging.
- A new FRET-based tension sensor has been developed to directly measure the forces associated with NMII along the actin network, using advanced imaging techniques like FLIM-FRET.
- The findings reveal that the forces produced by NMII isoform B (NMIIB) can vary significantly in different locations and times within the cell, suggesting this sensor could help understand the dynamics of cytoskeletal contractility in various cellular processes.

The development of biomaterials capable of regulating cellular processes and guiding cell fate decisions has broad implications in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and cell-based assays for drug development and disease modeling. Recent studies have shown that three-dimensional (3D) nanoscale physical cues such as nanotopography can modulate various cellular processes like adhesion and endocytosis by inducing nanoscale curvature on the plasma and nuclear membranes. Two-dimensional (2D) biochemical cues such as protein micropatterns can also regulate cell function and fate by controlling cellular geometries.
