Traction force microscopy – Measuring the forces exerted by cells

open access: yesMicron, 2021
Cells generate mechanical forces (traction forces, TFs) while interacting with the extracellular matrix or neighbouring cells. Forces are generated by both cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) and transmitted within the cell-ECM or cell-cell contacts involving focal adhesions or adherens junctions. Within more than two decades, substantial progress has

Broad-tailed force distributions and velocity ordering in a heterogeneous membrane model for collective cell migration

open access: yes, 2012
Correlated velocity patterns and associated large length-scale transmission of traction forces have been observed in collective live cell migration as a response to a "wound".

Mathematical framework for Traction Force Microscopy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
International audienceThis paper deals with the Traction Force Microscopy (TFM) problem. It consists in obtaining stresses by solving an inverse problem in an elastic medium, from known experimentally measured displacements.

Effect of traction direction and pressure load on the palatal plate on retentive force

open access: yesBMC Oral Health, 2022
Background Recently, a denture adhesive that is easy to clean and contain moisturizing ingredients have been developed for patients with dry mouth. Although the retentive force produced by conventional denture adhesives and oral moisturizers have been ...

Understanding crack versus cavitation in pressure-sensitive adhesives: the role of kinetics

open access: yes, 2006
We perform traction experiments on viscous liquids highly confined between parallel plates, a geometry known as the probe-tack test in the adhesion community.

Reconstruction and Simulation of Cellular Traction Forces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Biological cells are able to sense the stiffness, geometry and topography of their environment and sensitively respond to it. For this purpose, they actively apply contractile forces to the extracellular space, which can be determined by traction force

Design of Force Meter for Traction Unit [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Force gauge is an instrument used to measure the force on the traction unit. The purpose of this study is made a force gauge meter which used during traction operation. The main component of this force gauge meter is Atmega 328, HX711 module and Loadcell

Scaling of Traction Forces with Size of Cohesive Cell Colonies

open access: yes, 2012
To understand how the mechanical properties of tissues emerge from interactions of multiple cells, we measure traction stresses of cohesive colonies of 1-27 cells adherent to soft substrates.

Understanding the traction of tennis surfaces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The traction provided by a footwear-surface interaction can have an impact on player safety, performance and overall enjoyment of sport. Mechanical test methods used for the testing and categorisation of safe playing surfaces do not tend to simulate ...

Interaction between Molten Al‐Killed Mn–B Steel and Carbon‐Bonded MgO Refractories Based on Recyclates

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
High‐temperature interactions between low‐sulfur Al‐killed Mn–B steel and MgO–C refractories (0 and 50 wt% recyclates) are studied via finger immersion tests (1600 °C). Surface‐active elements influence infiltration. MgO/CaS layer forms, along with spinel and calcium silicate.
