Hypergravity affects cell traction forces of fibroblasts [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2020 ABSTRACTCells sense and react on changes of the mechanical properties of their environment, and likewise respond to external mechanical stress applied to them. Whether the gravitational field, as overall body force, modulates cellular behavior is however unclear.

Traction forces generated by locomoting keratocytes. [PDF]
The Journal of cell biology, 1994 Traction forces produced by moving fibroblasts have been observed as distortions in flexible substrata including wrinkling of thin, silicone rubber films. Traction forces generated by fibroblast lamellae were thought to represent the forces required to move the cell forwards.

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

Reproducibility of Traction Force in Traction Equipment.
Rigakuryoho Kagaku, 1998 本研究の目的は4施設で使用されている7台の牽引装置の牽引力を測定し,その再現性と特性を検討することである。再現性についての測定は同一日に3回測定し,測定初日から7日と14日の間隔を置いて3回測定し,日内反復測定と日間反復測定をおこなった。牽引力の特性についてはその直線性を求め,また設定値と測定値との差を求めた。その結果,牽引力測定値の再現性は日内,日間ともに良好であったが,設定牽引力と牽引力測定値に差がある牽引装置があった。患者の安全確保のために定期的な保守点検の必要性が示唆された。

Spatiotemporally Super-Resolved Volumetric Traction Force Microscopy [PDF]
Nano Letters, 2019 Quantification of mechanical forces is a major challenge across biomedical sciences. Yet such measurements are essential to understanding the role of biomechanics in cell regulation and function. Traction force microscopy remains the most broadly applied force probing technology but typically restricts itself to single-plane two-dimensional ...
