AFM single-cell force spectroscopy links altered nuclear and cytoskeletal mechanics to defective cell adhesion in cardiac myocytes with a nuclear lamin mutation

Abstract

Previous investigations suggested that lamin A/C gene (LMNA) mutations, which cause a variety of human diseases including muscular dystrophies and cardiomyopathies, alter the nuclear mechanical properties. We hypothesized that biomechanical changes may extend beyond the nucleus.
