  I show that cooperative exclusion processes with selective kinetic
constraints exhibit fluctuation-induced forces that can be attractive or
repulsive, depending on the density of boundary reservoirs, when their
density-dependent diffusion coefficient exhibits a minimum. A mean-field
analysis based on a nonlinear diffusion equation provides an estimation of the
magnitude and sign of such a tunable Casimir-like force and suggests its
occurrence in interacting particle systems with a diffusivity anomaly.
