Astigmatic traction force microscopy (aTFM) [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Quantifying rapidly progressing three-dimensional forces generated by cells remains a major challenge in mechanobiology. Here, the authors show that combining traction force microscopy with astigmatic imaging permits sensitive out-of-plane force ...

Force mapping during the formation and maturation of cell adhesion sites with multiple optical tweezers. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Focal contacts act as mechanosensors allowing cells to respond to their biomechanical environment. Force transmission through newly formed contact sites is a highly dynamic process requiring a stable link between the intracellular cytoskeleton and the ...

Cellular traction forces increase during consecutive mechanical stretching following traction force attenuation

open access: yesJournal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2017
Adherent cells generate traction forces, which are generated by and transmitted along the actin cytoskeleton to the underlying external substrate via focal adhesions. These cell generated forces are fundamental for maintaining cell shape and driving cell
