In Silico Prediction of Cell Traction Forces [PDF]
2020 IEEE 17th International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI), 2020 Traction Force Microscopy (TFM) is a technique used to determine the tensions that a biological cell conveys to the underlying surface. Typically, TFM requires culturing cells on gels with fluorescent beads, followed by bead displacement calculations. We present a new method allowing to predict those forces from a regular fluorescent image of the cell.

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.

Prediction of traction forces of motile cells [PDF]
Interface Focus, 2016 Abstract When crawling on a flat substrate, living cells exert forces on it via adhesive contacts, enabling them to build up tension within their cytoskeleton and to change shape. The measurement of these forces has been made possible by traction force microscopy (TFM), a technique which has allowed us to obtain time-resolved traction

Post vs. Post-less Hip Arthroscopy: A Comparison of Traction Force and Patient Specific Parameters
Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2021 Objectives: Hip distraction during arthroscopic surgery has typically utilized a peroneal post, which has known complications; post-less distraction has thus recently gained favor.

Chemo-Mechanical Factors That Limit Cellular Force Generation
Frontiers in Physics, 2022 Cellular traction forces that are dependent on actin-myosin activity are necessary for numerous developmental and physiological processes. As traction force emerges as a promising cancer biomarker there is a growing need to understand force generation in

Hypergravity affects cell traction forces of fibroblasts [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2020 ABSTRACT Cells 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.

Microscopy Research and Technique, 2023 AbstractCells generate traction forces to probe the mechanical properties of the surroundings and maintain a basal equilibrium state of stress. Traction forces are also implicated in cell migration, adhesion and ECM remodeling, and alteration of these forces is often observed in pathologies such as cancer.

High-Resolution Traction Force Microscopy [PDF]
, 2014 Cellular forces generated by the actomyosin cytoskeleton and transmitted to the extracellular matrix (ECM) through discrete, integrin-based protein assemblies, that is, focal adhesions, are critical to developmental morphogenesis and tissue homeostasis, as well as disease progression in cancer.

Wheel slip control based on traction force estimation of electric locomotives
, 2016 In the development of control strategies for traction control in railway systems or locomotive applications, the dynamic interaction is known as traction force coefficient between the wheel and the rail must be carefully considered. Identification of the
