Robust and responsive, the surface of a cell is as important as its interior when it comes to mechanically regulating form and function. New techniques are shedding light on this role, and a common language to describe its properties is now needed.
细胞表面坚固且反应灵敏,在机械调节形态和功能方面,其表面与内部同样重要。新技术正在揭示这一作用,现在需要一种通用语言来描述其特性。
