Synthetic aptamer mechanoreceptors enable cell-specific force sensing and temporal control via DNA circuits

Engineering synthetic mechanosensing systems with both cell-specificity and programmability remains challenging, especially for classical mechanoreceptors. Here, the authors develop an all-DNA mechanosensing platform based on aptamers that transmit force thro…

    What is FHMnews?

    FHMnews is the result of a rebellion that transcended frustration. Look around you. As PK puts it, the people in this circle think one thing, say another, and do another. We shook up all three, confined within one circle, and decided to write as they think and speak. News, views, and everything beyond.

    FHMnews is the country's first "new age" English news website. It's modern in its language, attitude, and news standards. It features selected news stories from the day, but with 360-degree coverage. It offers a complete report and analysis of each story, along with additional features like quizzes, polls, memes, and videos.
