Mechanobiology has become an important and ever-growing field of science that combines biology, engineering, chemistry and physics. It provides invaluable tool to studies of how the application of physical forces influences development, cell differentiation, physiology and disease. Many techniques have been developed throughout the time that enable these studies to contribute to our knowledge of complex biological systems. Optical or light technologies on the nano and micro-scale have enabled unprecedented advances in our understanding of mechanobiology. We will review the new developments in this rich field and point at further developments in this area that could lead to use of these nanotools to a further biomedical research community.
