(a) Individual MT subjected to 1000 pN force resulting in wavelength of 1.3 μm. Decaying and localized buckling is observable. (b) The same MT subjected to the same force, whereas tangential support from the cytoplasm is ignored. Comparison between the two MTs indicates that decaying nature of MT buckling in the presence of the cytoplasm is primarily driven by tangential supportive force (2).
