Cells have the ability to generate mechanical forces. Coordination of these forces is not only important for multicellular life, but also plays a role for various diseases. We combine physical theory and traction microscopy to uncover mechanisms of how cells feel and respond to forces. Here, we present a synopsis of recent findings on mechanisms of collective organization, ranging from bacteria to eukaryotic tissue cells.
