Physicist David Lubensky and Team Determine Stress Fibers Help Cells Keep Their Shape—and May Also Regulate Size, During Development
The team observed that cells use tiny fibers called apical stress fibers to help cells retain their shape during development. They also saw that these stress fibers help the cell understand its own size and help trigger when the cell should divide.
