Talin tension sensor reveals novel features of focal adhesion force transmission and mechanosensitivity
The cytoskeletal adapter protein talin plays a prominent role in adhesive structures connecting integrins to the actin cytoskeleton. In this work, Kumar et al. use a novel talin sensor to measure talin tension and provide insights into focal adhesion force transmission and mechanosensitivity.
