This study identifies NOMO as a force-bearing ER transmembrane protein essential for muscle differentiation and ER morphology under mechanical strain.

This study uses coiled-coil force sensors to measure force transmission along the formin Cdc12 in fission yeast, revealing distinct mechanisms upstream and downstream of the FH2 domain.

This paper introduces genetically encoded mechano-sensors using coiled coils to measure mechanical forces in vivo with diverse readouts and compact design.

This study identifies a mechanical circuit in End4p that regulates force transmission during clathrin-mediated endocytosis in fission yeast.
