Active Cell Mechanics

Active Cell Mechanics is a subfield of cellular rheology that investigates the mechanically active processes generated by cellular components, such as cytoskeletal dynamics and molecular motors, to distinguish how cells actively generate, transmit, and regulate internal forces and structural changes.
