Compressed sensing traction force microscopy

Acta Biomaterialia, 2015
Adherent cells exert traction forces on their substrate, and these forces play important roles in biological functions such as mechanosensing, cell differentiation and cancer invasion. The method of choice to assess these active forces is traction force microscopy (TFM).

Traction forces in locomoting cells

Cell Motility, 1995
AbstractA means of determining quantitative maps of the tractions exerted by locomoting cells on a substratum has been developed. This method is similar to the Harris silicone substratum assay [Harris et al., 1980: Science 208:177–179], but uses an improved non‐wrinkling film that deforms more predictably in response to traction forces. The method also

Analysis of the Traction Forces in Different Skull Traction Systems

Neurosurgery, 1988
During transportation of patients under skull traction, swinging of the weights produces acceleration forces that not only can cause pain and discomfort for the patient, but also can cause worsening of the cervical fracture or dislocation. Skull traction systems also involve friction forces.

Quantifying Immune Cell Force Generation Using Traction Force Microscopy

2023
Immune cells rely on the generation of mechanical force to carry out their function. Consequently, there is a pressing need for quantitative methodologies that permit the probing of the spatio-temporal distribution of mechanical forces generated by immune cells. In this chapter, we provide a guide to quantify immune cell force generation using traction

Cell traction force and measurement methods

Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology, 2007
Cell traction forces (CTFs) are crucial to many biological processes such as inflammation, wound healing, angiogenesis, and metastasis. CTFs are generated by actomyosin interactions and actin polymerization and regulated by intracellular proteins such as alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) and soluble factors such as transforming growth factor-beta ...

Micropatterning tractional forces in living cells

Cell Motility, 2002
AbstractHere we describe a method for quantifying traction in cells that are physically constrained within micron‐sized adhesive islands of defined shape and size on the surface of flexible polyacrylamide gels that contain fluorescent microbeads (0.2‐μm diameter).

Cell Traction Force Microscopy

2007
Cell traction forces are vital for many biological processes, including angiogenesis, inflammation, wound healing, and metastasis. The study of cell traction forces enables us to better understand the mechanisms of these biological processes at the cellular and molecular levels.
