We study how mechanical and chemical signals integrate in space and time to control cytoskeleton dynamics and membrane trafficking. We develop a minimally-perturbing experimental approach that exploits the intrinsic heterogeneity of cell dynamic states to probe the hierarchy and kinetics of mechanochemical signaling cascades.
