Description:
Article Podosomes are actin-rich adhesion structures that show periodic oscillations in stiffness. Here, Labernadie et al. develop a method to measure the protrusion force and mechanosensing activity of individual podosomes, using an atomic force microscope and a flexible substrate membrane.
