Researchers at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences combined advanced imaging techniques and theoretical physics to observe and explain how nanoclusters of the protein emerin form inside living cells.

These clusters play a crucial role in how cells sense and respond to mechanical forces like stretching or pressure, a process known as mechanotransduction.
