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.
