Compressed sensing traction force microscopy
Acta Biomaterialia, 2015Adherent 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, 1995AbstractA 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, 1988During 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
2023Immune 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, 2007Cell 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 ...

Traction force for peroperative hip dislocation in hip arthroscopy
HIP International, 2020Objectives: Traction force widens the joint space during hip arthroscopy. It is unclear how much the traction force varies and if it is related to the joint space widening. Main goal of our study was to measure the amount of force needed to widen the hip

Micropatterning tractional forces in living cells
Cell Motility, 2002AbstractHere 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
2007Cell 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.

Traction forces exerted through N‐cadherin contacts
Biology of the Cell, 2006Background information. Mechanical forces play an important role in the organization, growth and function of living tissues. The ability of cells to transduce mechanical signals is governed by two types of microscale structures: focal adhesions, which link cells to the extracellular matrix, and adherens junctions, which link adjacent cells through ...
