Byolojis gen irezistib prèv ki montre nan adisyon nan siyal byochimik, fòs mekanik gen yon pi gwo enpak sou nan yon pakèt domèn pwosesis yo nan byoloji selilè, ak egzanp sòti nan migrasyon selilè ak kwasans selil gaye nan kansè ak diferansyasyon nan selil souch. Men tou, gen kounye a yon mank nan zouti apwopriye ki mezire fòs la egzèse pa yon selil ki souvan se byen anba a 1nN (sa vle di, <10-6 N (!)).

Biologists have compelling evidence that in addition to biochemical signals, mechanical forces have a major impact on a wide range of processes in cell biology, with examples ranging from cell migration and cell growth to the spreading of cancer and the differentiation of stem cells. However, there is at present a shortage of suitable tools to measure the force exerted by a cell which often is well below 1nN (i.e., < 10-6 N (!)).
