Popis: The extracellular matrix is under variable strain, but we lack the tools to detect differences in strain. Here the authors develop a probe based on a bacterial fibronectin-binding peptide that binds to relaxed fibronectin fibrils and detects relaxed matrix in cell culture, tissue slices and in vivo.
