 I have never seen such an amazing line-up of speakers...
 The deadline for registration is on the 15th of September although the course is only October next year.

multicolor imaging using two-photon microscopy

paper showing that ecadherin cytoplasmic domain is indeed a molecular sensor for tension (they used a FRET sensor). they also saw that this is dependent on alpha-catenin and actin. and interestingly they found that this force-sensing property of e-cadherin is important not only in cell-cell contacts but also cell contact-free regions.
