title: Cell division: Biochemically controlled mechanics.
abstract: Technical advances are providing new insights into the mechanical properties of cells. Now, by combining genetic and biochemical studies with high-resolution mechanical measurements from atomic force microscopy, the biochemical bases of mechanical processes such as cytokinesis should be discernible.
