Imaging spotlight: linking mechanical forces and the Golgi

Posted by , on 22 September 2026

In this Imaging spotlight, Felix Campelo, Stéphanie Miserey and Jean-Baptiste Manneville highlight the key findings from their research asking whether the Golgi apparatus can sense and respond to mechanical forces. They talk about the importance of selecting the correct microscope for your question rather than assuming that the most sophisticated microscopy is best, as well
