A recent Cluster publication by first author Young Scientist Federico Colombo introduces a novel 2-photon laser printing method for mechanically stimulating multicellular systems in 3D. This technique enables precise control over the mechanical environment of cells, allowing for a deeper understanding of their behavior and potential therapeutic applications. The findings pave the way for the development of novel tools and strategies for manipulating cellular behavior in a controlled manner, opening up new possibilities for regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, and drug discovery. Cluster PIs Joachim Wittbrodt and Christine Selhuber-Unkel were also involved in this paper.
