Suction was used by John Hopkins researchers to learn that individual "molecular muscles" within cells respond to different types of force. This finding may explain how cells "feel" the environment and appropriately adapt their shapes and activities.

Researchers: To Sense and Respond to Their Environments, Cells' 'Molecular Muscles' Help Them
