Biology Analyzing Cell Surface Adhesion Remodeling in Response to Mechanical Tension Using Magnetic Beads Angélique Millon-Frémillon*1, Julien Aureille*1, Christophe Guilluy1 1Institute for Advanced Biosciences, Centre de recherche UGA - INSERM U1209 - CNRS UMR Cell surface adhesions are central in mechanotransduction, as they transmit mechanical tension and initiate the signaling pathways involved in tissue homeostasis and development. Here, we present a protocol for dissecting the biochemical pathways that are activated in response to tension, using ligand-coated magnetic microbeads and force application to adhesion receptors.
