Plant Acupuncture: a low-cost and open-source device for local mechanical stimulation

This paper introduces an open-source, low-cost device for applying precise mechanical stimuli to plant cells, enabling studies of mechanobiology.

Plant actin networks are rapid mechano-adaptive scaffolds

This study shows plant actin networks rapidly respond to mechanical cues, similar to animal cells, and function as mechano-adaptive scaffolds.
