Optical sensors in mechanobiology: Optical sensors can be used across a wide range of length scales. At the molecular level, they provide insights into the pN forces involved in mechanotransduction inside cells. On larger scales, these intracellular forces combine with forces between cells and between cells and the ECM to shape the overall 3D structure of tissues and organs.
