Abstract

Abstract : Intracellular Mechanical Drugs Today it is incontestable that cell mechanics is as important as cell biochemistry. However, although there is a plethora of biochemical drugs to study and treat cells, there is a lack of their mechanical counterparts. In article number 2109581, Teresa Suárez, José A. Plaza, and co‐workers propose silicon chips as intracellular mechanical drugs to study how intracellular mechanical cues define cell function and fate with even future therapeutic potential applications.
