Traction chain networks: Insights beyond force chain networks for non-spherical particle systems
Powder Technology, 2022 Force chain networks are generally applied in granular materials to gain insight into inter-particle granular contact. For conservative spherical particle systems, i.e. frictionless and undamped, force chains are information complete due to symmetries resulting from isotropy and constant curvature of a sphere.

The biochemical composition of the actomyosin network sets the magnitude of cellular traction forces [PDF]
Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2021 The endogenous content of proteins associated with force production and the resultant traction forces were quantified in the same cells using a new traction force-microscopy assay. Focal adhesion size correlated with force in stationary cells. Relative numbers of motors and cross-linkers per actin required an optimum to maximize cell force production.

Coupling traction force patterns and actomyosin wave dynamics reveals mechanics of cell motion
Molecular Systems Biology, 2021 Motile cells can use and switch between different modes of migration. Here, we use traction force microscopy and fluorescent labeling of actin and myosin to quantify and correlate traction force patterns and cytoskeletal distributions in Dictyostelium ...

Traction Force Microscopy Based on an Active Cable Network Model [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2014 Generation of mechanical force is essential for the function of tissue cells, for example during migration, wound healing or rigidity sensing. The traction field of adherent cells can be measured on soft elastic substrates using traction force microscopy (TFM).

An Agent-Based Discrete Collagen Fiber Network Model of Dynamic Traction Force-Induced Remodeling [PDF]
Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, 2018 Microstructural properties of extracellular matrix (ECM) promote cell and tissue homeostasis as well as contribute to the formation and progression of disease. In order to understand how microstructural properties influence the mechanical properties and traction force-induced remodeling of ECM, we developed an agent-based model that incorporates ...
