ANN ARBOR, Michigan, Oct. 15 (TNSJou) -- The University of Michigan issued the following news release:
As organisms develop, mechanical forces exert pressure on their cells, and scientists have long wondered how cells keep their shape--and therefore remain healthy--through the process.
Now, a study led in part by a University of Michigan physicist has observed for the first time that cells use tiny fibers called apical stress fibers to help cells retain their shape duri . . .
