Regulation of Cdc42 GTPase activity in the formation of hyphae in Candida albicans.

abstract：:In response to engagement of surface molecules, cells generate active forces that regulate many cellular processes. Developing tools that permit gathering mechanical and morphological information on these forces is of the utmost importance. Here we describe a new technique, the micropipette force probe, that uses a mi...
