Mechanobiology!

Enjoy our newest review in the first issue of Nature Reviews Physics. The review, co-written by young scientists Michael, Gotthold, David & Benjamin (& some older ones), describes how AFM-based approaches can contribute to address pertinent problems in mechanobiology at the crossroads of medicine, biology, biophysics and engineering. It describes how the responses of proteins, cells, tissues and organs to mechanical cues contribute to development, differentiation, physiology and disease.
