     Cells, the fundamental units composing tissues and organs, are increasingly recognized for their active responses to mechanical stimuli, altering their functions and morphology. To comprehensively analyze these responses, we are advancing the development of devices to meticulously measure the mechanical properties of cells themselves, the magnitude of forces exerted by cells in vivo during development, and even the fine internal structures within cells. Using these devices, we are investigating in detail the mechanical responses of cultured cells to various applied forces. Our ultimate goal is to utilize the nature of these mechanical responses of cells to make cells design and fabricate microscopic structures in the future.
