Using nanopillars with increased spatial resolution, Shiu et al. identify high perinuclear forces that originate from contractile apical actin filaments that span across the nucleus and are dependent on lamin A and the LINC complex.
Nanopillar force measurements reveal actin-cap-mediated YAP mechanotransduction
