Optical tweezers have elucidated numerous biological processes,particularly by enabling the precise manipulation and measurement of tension.One question concerns the biological relevance of these ex-periments and the generalizability of these experiments to wider biological systems.Here,we catego-rize the applicability of the information garnered from optical tweezers in two distinct categories:the direct relevance of tension in biological systems,and what experiments under tension can tell us about biological systems,while these systems do not reach the same tension as the experiment,still,these ar-tificial experimental systems reveal insights into the operations of biological machines and life processes.
