A Biologist’s Guide to Traction Force Microscopy Using Polydimethylsiloxane Substrate for Two-Dimensional Cell Cultures

open access: yesSTAR Protocols, 2020
Summary Cellular traction forces influence epithelial behavior, including wound healing and cell extrusion. Here, we describe a simple in vitro traction force microscopy (TFM) protocol using ECM protein-coated polydimethylsiloxane substrate and widefield

Substrate Stress Relaxation Regulates Cell‐Mediated Assembly of Extracellular Matrix

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Silicone‐based viscoelastic substrates with tunable stress relaxation reveal how matrix mechanics regulates cellular mechanosensing and cell‐mediated matrix remodelling in the stiff regime. High stress relaxation promotes assembly of fibronectin fibril‐like structures, increased nuclear localization of YAP and formation of β1 integrin‐enriched ...

Study on the coupling vibration characteristics at the junction of metro carriages

open access: yesMechanical Engineering Journal, 2021
Aiming at the problem of dislocation at the junction of metro carriages, a three DOF (degree of freedom) coupled vibration model of the junction of metro carriages was established. Then, the kinetic equation of vibration model was established by Lagrange

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.

Cooperative cell motility during tandem locomotion of amoeboid cells. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Streams of migratory cells are initiated by the formation of tandem pairs of cells connected head to tail to which other cells subsequently adhere. The mechanisms regulating the transition from single to streaming cell migration remain elusive, although ...

Reduced Stiffness and Augmented Traction Force in Type 2 Diabetic Coronary Microvascular Smooth Muscle.

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Physiology. Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 2020
Type 2 diabetic (T2DM) coronary resistance microvessels (CRMs) undergo inward hypertrophic remodeling associated with reduced stiffness and reduced coronary blood flow in both mice and pig models.

Traction forces during collective cell motion [PDF]

open access: yesHFSP Journal, 2009
Collective motion of cell cultures is a process of great interest, as it occurs during morphogenesis, wound healing, and tumor metastasis. During these processes cell cultures move due to the traction forces induced by the individual cells on the surrounding matrix. A recent study [Trepat, et al. (2009). Nat. Phys.

Traction forces of cancer cells [PDF]

open access: yesComputer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering, 2011
Cell motility of cancer cells is a fundamental problem, and requires precise correlation between cell adhesive and rheological properties. The migration of cancer cells is studied in two dimensions, as cells are seeded onto functionnalized polyacrylamide gels.

Meniscus Pixel Printing for Contact‐Lens Vision Sensing and Robotic Control

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A visual‐sensing contact lens is enabled by meniscus pixel printing (MPP), which rapidly patterns a 200 µm perovskite photodetector pixel in 1 s without masks, vacuum processing, or bulky equipment. A deep‐learning‐based super‐resolution reconstructs sparse on‐lens signals into 80 × 80 high‐resolution visual information, while AI‐driven eye‐tracking ...

Measurement of Interaction between Futsal Footwear and Futsal Pitch Surface under Different Outsole Condition

open access: yesProceedings, 2018
The interaction between footwear and the pitch surface is an important aspect for successful performance and injury prevention in futsal. We aimed to investigate shoe-surface interaction of non-marking and multi-studded outsole designs.
